Objective: This single-case experiment examined the use of behavioural economic concepts in a function-based treatment for problem behaviour.

Methods: Behavioural economic analyses were used to evaluate the strength of functions of problem behaviour and this information was used to inform elements of function-based treatment for one child with a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Results: Findings from this experiment indicated that the incorporation of behavioural economic measures resulted in positive treatment effects that were maintained throughout all phases of the evaluation, including those implemented by caregivers.

Conclusions: These results suggest that behavioural economic concepts and procedures can be successful adjuncts to evidence-based assessments and treatments for problem behaviour.

目的：该单例实验研究了行为经济学概念在基于功能的问题行为处理中的使用。

方法：通过行为经济学分析来评估问题行为功能的强度，并且该信息用于为一名神经发育障碍儿童提供基于功能的治疗要素。

结果：从该实验中得出的结果表明，行为经济措施的引入带来了积极的治疗效果，这些效果在评估的所有阶段都得到了保持，包括由看护者实施的效果。

结论：这些结果表明，行为经济学的概念和程序可以成功地辅助基于证据的问题行为的评估和治疗。
