Single-case experimental designs have advanced considerably in the evaluation of functional relationships between interventions and behavior change. The systematic investigation of response maintenance once intervention effects have been demonstrated has, however, received relatively little attention. The lack of research on maintenance may stem in part from the paucity of design options that systematically evaluate factors that contribute to maintenance. The present paper discusses three design options potentially useful for the investigation of response maintenance. These include: (a) the sequential-withdrawal, (b) the partial-withdrawal, and (c) the partial-sequential withdrawal designs. Each design is illustrated and potential limitations are discussed.
单病例实验设计在评估干预措施与行为改变之间的功能关系方面已经取得了长足的进步。然而,在干预效果得到证实后,对反应维持的系统研究却相对较少受到关注。维持方面研究的缺乏可能部分源于系统评估促成维持的因素的设计选项较少。本文讨论了三种可能有助于研究反应维持的设计选项。这些选项包括:(a) 序贯撤除法,(b) 部分撤除法,以及 (c) 部分序贯撤除法。每种设计都有实例说明,并讨论了其潜在的局限性。
