We examined articles in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis in which results of functional analyses indicated that problem behavior was maintained by multiple sources of reinforcement. Data for 88 (16.9%) of 521 subjects reported in 168 studies met the criteria for multiple control. Data for 11 subjects (2.1%) involved a single response topography, whereas data for 77 subjects involved multiple, collapsed response topographies (14.8% of the total [521 cases] or 87.5% of the multiple control cases), suggesting that when multiple control is observed, it often may be a by-product of response aggregation during assessment.
我们研究了《应用行为分析杂志》中的文章,其中功能分析的结果表明问题行为是由多种强化来源维持的。在 168 项研究中,有 521 名被试的 88 名(16.9%)符合多项控制的标准。在 11 名被试(2.1%)的数据中涉及单一反应形态,而在 77 名被试的数据中涉及多个、合并的反应形态(占总数[521 例]的 14.8%或多项控制例的 87.5%),这表明当观察到多项控制时,它通常可能是评估过程中反应聚合的副产品。
