Two major features of the overcorrection procedure, restitution and positive practice, were analyzed for their educative and suppressive properties in the treatment of profoundly retarded adults. Positive practice techniques that were topographically similar and dissimilar to the target behavior were studied. Eating behavior and puzzle performance were observed. Restitutional overcorrection and both forms of positive practice were effective for suppressing inappropriate behaviors. Even when appropriate behaviors had been acquired by positive practice, restitution and dissimilar positive practice were generally ineffective for increasing their rate of occurrence. However, topographically similar positive practice was successful as a means of teaching new appropriate behaviors.
对过度矫正程序的两个主要特征——恢复原状和积极练习，分析了它们在治疗重度智障成年人时的教育性和抑制性特性。研究了与目标行为在形式上相似和不同的积极练习技术。观察了进食行为和拼图表现。恢复性过度矫正以及两种形式的积极练习在抑制不适当行为方面都有效。即使通过积极练习已经习得适当行为，恢复原状和不同形式的积极练习通常在提高其出现频率方面无效。然而，形式上相似的积极练习作为教授新的适当行为的一种手段是成功的。
