Recent research has suggested that variables related to specific mand topographies targeted during functional communication training (FCT) can affect treatment outcomes. These include effort, novelty of mands, previous relationships with problem behavior, and preference. However, there is little extant research on procedures for identifying which mand topographies to incorporate into FCT. In the current study, a mand topography assessment was conducted following functional analyses to identify the proficiency with which individuals used several different mand topographies. Two mand topographies (high and low proficiency) were then compared during FCT-based treatments. FCT was more effective when the mand topography identified as high proficiency was incorporated into FCT as compared to FCT that included the lower proficiency response. The results are discussed in terms of the need for individualized assessment procedures for selecting mand topographies that are targeted during FCT.
近期研究表明，在功能性沟通训练（FCT）期间与特定的要求形式相关的变量会影响治疗效果。这些变量包括努力程度、要求的新颖性、与问题行为之前的关系以及偏好。然而，关于确定哪些要求形式应纳入FCT的程序，目前现存的研究很少。在本研究中，在功能分析之后进行了要求形式评估，以确定个体使用几种不同要求形式的熟练程度。然后在基于FCT的治疗过程中比较了两种要求形式（高熟练程度和低熟练程度）。与纳入较低熟练程度反应的FCT相比，当将被确定为高熟练程度的要求形式纳入FCT时，FCT更有效。根据需要采用个性化评估程序来选择FCT期间所针对的要求形式这一点，对研究结果进行了讨论。
