The prevalence of hoarding (collection of and refusal to discard unneeded items) is higher in older adults than the general population and has been correlated with dementia. Treatments to increase cooperation with discarding hoarded items have not been systematically evaluated. This study evaluated two procedures for increasing cooperation with handing over hoarded items in an older adult with dementia. The antecedent-based intervention effectively increased cooperation.
囤积症（收集和拒绝丢弃不需要的物品）在老年人中的发病率高于普通人群，且与痴呆症有关。增加对丢弃囤积物品的合作的治疗方法尚未得到系统评估。本研究评估了两种增加老年痴呆症患者交出囤积物品的合作的程序。基于前事的干预有效地增加了合作。
