The course of treatment for hair pulling in a moderately retarded, visually impaired 9-year-old male is described along with the effectiveness of an ammonia inhalation procedure to eliminate this behavior. However, before discovering this successful procedure, other well-known techniques such as DRO, TO, overcorrection, and shaping all failed. Since rapid treatment effectiveness could be assumed to be the norm, given the operant literature, the extensive course of treatment reported here serves to document that perseverance may also be a necessary component of successful behavior management strategies.
本文描述了一名中度智力发育迟缓、视力受损的9岁男性拔毛行为的治疗过程，以及吸入氨气消除该行为的有效性。然而，在发现这一成功方法之前，其他知名技术如区别性强化其他行为（DRO）、暂停（TO）、过度矫正和塑形均告失败。鉴于操作性条件反射文献，通常认为治疗应迅速起效，因此本文所报告的漫长治疗过程证明，坚持不懈也可能是成功行为管理策略的必要组成部分。
