It is estimated that 1 in 10 adults aged 65 years and older have been diagnosed with dementia, which is associated with numerous behavioral excesses and deficits. Despite the publication of a special section of the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA) on behavioral gerontology (Iwata, 1986), there continues to be a paucity of behavior-analytic research with this population. This review compares the research published before and after the behavioral gerontology special section and evaluates the most recently published aging articles in JABA.
据估计,65 岁及以上的成年人中有 1/10 被诊断患有痴呆症,这与许多行为过度和不足有关。尽管《应用行为分析杂志》(JABA)发表了关于行为老年学的特刊(Iwata,1986),但针对这一人群的行为分析研究仍然很少。本综述比较了特刊前后发表的研究,并评估了 JABA 中最近发表的老龄化文章。
