Seventy-five moderatley to profoundly retarded adults in an exit unit of a large state institution were randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard treatment, independence training, and no treatment control. Pre- and posttreatment measures, with progress being defined as an increase in the percentage of operationally defined steps completed for one behavior, were taken for all three groups on one of two types of targeted self-help behavior. A significant increase in correctly completed steps of the target behavior from pre- to posttreatment, as well as from pretreatment to follow-up assessment, was noted for the independence-training group. Independence training proved to be significantly more effective, and staff members preferred it over both standard treatment and no-treatment control at the postassessment.
在一家大型州立机构的出院单元中，75名中度至重度智障成年人被随机分为三组：标准治疗组、独立训练组和无治疗对照组。针对两种类型的目标自助行为之一，对所有三组进行了治疗前和治疗后的测量，进展被定义为一种行为在操作上定义的完成步骤百分比的增加。独立训练组在治疗前到治疗后以及从治疗前到随访评估中，目标行为正确完成步骤有显著增加。结果证明，独立训练显著更有效，在后期评估中，工作人员比标准治疗组和无治疗对照组更喜欢独立训练组。
