We studied effects of different settings on the behavior of persons with profound mental retardation. Adaptive (alert) and nonadaptive behaviors were observed in two community settings and a center setting. Results of the descriptive assessment showed that participants engaged in a higher percentage of adaptive behaviors and a lower percentage of nonadaptive behaviors in the "high stimulation" community setting. The results are discussed in light of environmental setting events on persons with profound mental retardation.
我们研究了不同环境对重度智力障碍者行为的影响。在两种社区环境和一种中心环境中观察了适应性(警觉)行为和非适应性行为。描述性评估结果表明,在“高刺激”社区环境中,参与者表现出较高比例的适应性行为和较低比例的非适应性行为。根据环境背景事件对重度智力障碍者的影响对结果进行了讨论。
