Fifty-two case-hardened, severely self-abusive and aggressive autistic and retarded students, living in six different community residences, were trained to exit their residences, without the presence or assistance of staff, when a fire alarm sounded at night. On a pretest, prior to an 11-week period of intensive environmental and behavioral interventions, only 25% of the students exited within 2 1/2 minutes and independent of staff assistance. At posttest, 100% exited successfully, in a mean evacuation time of 60 seconds. The study was conducted at the Behavior Research Institute (BRI).
五十二名经过表面硬化处理、有严重自我伤害和攻击行为的自闭症及智障学生，居住在六个不同的社区住所。他们接受了训练，以便在夜间火警警报响起时，在没有工作人员在场或协助的情况下离开住所。在为期11周的强化环境和行为干预之前进行的预测试中，只有25%的学生能在2分半钟内独立于工作人员协助自行离开。在后测中，100%的学生成功撤离，平均撤离时间为60秒。该研究在行为研究所（BRI）进行。
