We evaluated a method for training infants to cue their mothers on the need to eliminate. The program consisted of three phases: Phase I was directed at establishing a close temporal relationship between body signals (straining) and subsequent defecations on the potty; Phase II was designed to establish a relationship between prompted and unprompted potty reaching/grabbing responses and eliminations (defecations and urinations) on the potty; and Phase III served to establish unprompted potty reaching/grabbing responses as reliable precursors of eliminations. Four babies, between 3.1 and 6.6 months old, all completed the training before age 1 year, with no negative side effects.
我们评估了一种训练婴儿向母亲提示排泄需求的方法。该程序包括三个阶段：第一阶段旨在建立身体信号（用力）与随后在便盆上排便之间的紧密时间关系；第二阶段旨在建立提示和未提示的便盆到达/抓取反应与便盆上的排泄（排便和排尿）之间的关系；第三阶段用于将未提示的便盆到达/抓取反应确立为排泄的可靠先兆。四名年龄在3.1至6.6个月之间的婴儿均在1岁前完成了训练，且无负面副作用。
