A four-phase study was conducted in the homes of 4 young children who displayed aberrant behavior. Phases 1 and 2 consisted of a series of descriptive and experimental analyses to identify the environmental antecedents and consequences that controlled aberrant behavior. Phases 3 and 4 evaluated the short- and long-term effects of treatment on aberrant behavior, target mands, and collateral (social and toy play) behaviors. The effects of treatment were monitored for up to 27 months to assess long-term suppression of aberrant behavior. The assessment results successfully identified environmental events that occasioned and maintained aberrant behavior for all children. The short-term treatment resulted in immediate decreases in aberrant behavior for 3 of 4 children. Long-term treatment was successful for all children and was correlated with substantial response generalization. These results are interpreted in relation to functional equivalence, pivotal responding, and response generalization.
对4名表现出异常行为的幼儿家庭进行了一项分为四个阶段的研究。第一阶段和第二阶段包括一系列描述性和实验性分析，以确定控制异常行为的环境前因和后果。第三阶段和第四阶段评估了治疗对异常行为、目标指令以及附带行为（社交和玩具玩耍行为）的短期和长期影响。对治疗效果进行了长达27个月的监测，以评估异常行为的长期抑制情况。评估结果成功识别了所有儿童出现并维持异常行为的环境事件。短期治疗使4名儿童中的3名异常行为立即减少。长期治疗对所有儿童都取得了成功，并与显著的反应泛化相关。这些结果根据功能等效性、关键反应和反应泛化进行了解释。
