Resumen
El uso problemático del smartphone (UPS) es un fenómeno que afecta la manera en que los individuos socializan y se desempeñan en distintos ámbitos sociales, y que se caracteriza principalmente por un uso excesivo del dispositivo. El UPS es frecuente en grupos de edad comprendidos entre los 14 y los 24 años; sin embargo, se ha identificado que esta problemática también afecta a niños desde la edad preescolar hasta la adolescencia. Ante esta situación, se han desarrollado diversas propuestas de intervención con el objetivo de reducir el tiempo de uso del smartphone o celular. En el presente estudio se presentan los efectos de una intervención basada en la técnica de Reforzamiento de Otras Conductas (RDO) sobre el tiempo de uso del celular en una participante de nueve años. Los resultados muestran una disminución en el tiempo de uso como efecto de la intervención. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados para el área.
