Several recent investigations have shown that abusive and neglectful parents exhibit deficits in skills for interacting with their children. In the current study, an inattentive and neglectful parent was taught to provide positive verbal and physical attention towards her 4-year-old child. Training was accomplished using a "bug-in-the-ear" microphone device while the parent interacted with her child in a clinic playroom. After use of the device was discontinued, the parent continued to use the newly trained skills at rates higher than during baseline. Four month follow-up and at home observations were suggestive of skill maintenance. Training of this kind may prove useful for parents who lack skills for effective interaction with their children.
最近的几项调查表明，有虐待和忽视行为的父母在与孩子互动的技能方面存在缺陷。在当前的研究中，一位粗心大意且疏于照顾孩子的家长被教导要对她4岁的孩子给予积极的言语和身体关注。在家长与孩子在诊所游戏室互动时，使用“耳内窃听器”麦克风设备来完成训练。在停止使用该设备后，这位家长继续以高于基线水平的频率使用新训练的技能。四个月的随访和在家中的观察表明技能得到了维持。这种训练可能对缺乏与孩子有效互动技能的家长有用。
