The authors used a reinforcer assessment to evaluate possible interventions for hoarding in an older individual with dementia. The most preferred condition from the assessment (sorting activity) was compared to a staff developed treatment involving item removal and redirection. Hoarding was reduced during both interventions with a greater reduction in the sorting condition. The behavioral reductions were maintained during schedule thinning of social interactions and follow-up.
作者使用强化评估来评估针对痴呆老年个体囤积问题的可能干预措施。评估中最受偏好的条件（分类活动）与工作人员制定的干预措施（物品移除和引导）进行了比较。在这两种干预措施中，囤积行为都有所减少，而在分类条件下的减少更为明显。在社交互动和随访的时间表稀疏化过程中，行为减少得到了维持。
