Seven severely retarded adults from a small rural developmental centre were treated for in appropriate vocational behaviour in the centre's workshop. Target types of behaviour were accurate and efficient performance of three types of operationally defined work behaviour collectively called work skills. Specific inappropriate behaviour for individual residents included chin wiping, inappropriate touching, and eyes off task. Training involved providing instructions, performance feedback, role-playing, and social and monetary reinforcers, which resulted in improvement in all types of targeted behaviour. Follow-up four weeks after treatment was conducted revealed a maintenance of gains on target behaviour.
来自一个小型农村发展中心的七名重度智障成年人在该中心的车间接受了针对不当职业行为的治疗。行为目标类型是三种经操作定义的工作行为的准确高效表现，这三种行为统称为工作技能。个别居民的具体不当行为包括擦下巴、不当触摸和注意力不集中。培训包括提供指导、绩效反馈、角色扮演以及社会和金钱奖励，这导致了所有目标行为类型都有所改善。治疗四周后进行的随访显示目标行为的改善得以维持。
