The effects of aerobic dance exercise on inappropriate behaviors of two developmentally disabled adults were observed in a day activities center. The experimental phase, in which the subjects engaged in exercise with seven other individuals on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week, was preceded and followed by baseline phases in which subjects did not exercise and in which there were no contingencies in effect for the dependent variables. Exercises consisted of those commonly used in exercise dance classes. Observations occurred during 15 minute periods immediately before and following exercise while subjects engaged in regular classroom activities. Observations also occurred in the same time periods on no-exercise days during all phases. Behaviors observed included inappropriate vocalizations, repetitive movements, and off-task. Results indicate for both subjects a decrease in each of the inappropriate behaviors as a result of exercise.
在一个日间活动中心观察了有氧舞蹈锻炼对两名发育障碍成年人不当行为的影响。实验阶段中，受试者每周一、三、五与其他七个人一起进行锻炼，在该阶段之前和之后是基线阶段，基线阶段受试者不锻炼，且对因变量没有实施任何意外情况。锻炼包括健身舞蹈课中常用的那些动作。观察在锻炼前后紧挨着的15分钟时间段内进行，此时受试者参与常规课堂活动。在所有阶段的无锻炼日的相同时间段也进行观察。观察到的行为包括不适当发声、重复动作和任务不专注。结果表明，对两名受试者而言，锻炼使得每种不当行为都有所减少。
