Social feedback was investigated as a treatment strategy for reducing inappropriate verbalizations by a retarded adult in a vocational-training program. Treatment procedures were introduced as a combination of three components: praise for not verbalizing inappropriately, reprimands, and instruction. Additional investigations were made into procedures for withdrawing treatment, while maintaining the corrected verbal behavior. Results of the study indicated that the social-feedback procedures were effective in reducing inappropriate verbalizations. Results of withdrawing all social-feedback components at once suggested that the treatment gains would not be maintained; however, fading social-feedback components sequentially was effective in maintaining low levels of inappropriate verbalizations. Further research into multiple-component training packages for changing and maintaining verbal behavior may provide a means for training more skills leading to job success for mentally retarded adults.
在一个职业培训项目中，社会反馈被作为一种减少一名智障成年人不适当言语行为的治疗策略进行了研究。治疗程序被引入作为三个组成部分的组合：对未出现不适当言语行为的表扬、斥责和指导。还对在维持已纠正言语行为的同时撤回治疗的程序进行了额外调查。研究结果表明，社会反馈程序在减少不适当言语行为方面是有效的。一次性撤回所有社会反馈组成部分的结果表明，治疗效果无法维持；然而，依次淡化社会反馈组成部分在维持低水平的不适当言语行为方面是有效的。对用于改变和维持言语行为的多组成部分培训包的进一步研究，可能为培训更多有助于智障成年人获得工作成功的技能提供一种方法。
