Preference for mand topography was evaluated for 2 individuals with developmental disabilities who exhibited problem behavior. The results of a functional analysis showed that each participant's problem behavior was maintained by social reinforcement. Participants were taught two novel mand topographies for the same functional reinforcer, and each proved to be effective in reducing problem behavior. Finally, preference for mand topography was assessed within a concurrent-schedules design. Results indicated that functional communication training was an effective treatment, regardless of the mand used, and that each participant demonstrated a preference for one mand topography relative to the other.
对两名有问题行为的发育障碍个体的指令语形偏好进行了评估。功能分析结果表明，每个参与者的问题行为都由社会强化维持。针对相同的功能性强化物，对参与者进行了两种新的指令语形训练，且每种都被证明能有效减少问题行为。最后，在并发日程安排设计中评估了对指令语形的偏好。结果表明，无论使用哪种指令语形，功能性沟通训练都是一种有效的治疗方法，且每个参与者相对于另一种指令语形都表现出对一种指令语形的偏好。
