Descriptive and experimental analyses of stereotypy by a woman with severe mental retardation showed that the behavior was maintained by escape from demands. A sequence of high-probability requests issued immediately prior to a task-related request established a momentum of compliance that increased compliance with task-related demands. Increases in compliance were accompanied by collateral reductions in stereotypic behavior. A mechanism of response covariation, called functional incompatibility, and an animal analogue study for testing the validity of this mechanism are proposed.
对一名重度智力障碍女性刻板行为的描述性和实验性分析表明，该行为通过逃避要求得以维持。在与任务相关的要求之前立即发出一系列高概率要求，建立了一种顺从的势头，从而增加了对与任务相关要求的顺从。顺从性的增加伴随着刻板行为的相应减少。本文提出了一种反应共变机制，称为功能不相容性，并进行了一项动物模拟研究以检验该机制的有效性。
