Relapse following the successful treatment of problem behavior can increase the likelihood
of injury and the need for more intensive care. Current research offers some predictions of …

Behavioral treatment gains established in one setting do not always maintain in other
settings. The present review examines the relevance of basic and translational research to …

This book reviews how people and animals learn and how their behaviors are later changed
as a result of this learning. Nearly all of our behaviors are influenced by prior learning …

Resurgence is typically defined as an increase in a previously extinguished target behavior
when a more recently reinforced alternative behavior is later extinguished. Some treatments …

A review of different investigators' definitions of resurgence revealed several common
features: First, characteristics of the resurgent, or target, response, such as its transience; …

Resurgence is the return of a previously reinforced response as conditions worsen for an
alternative response, such as the introduction of extinction, reductions in reinforcement, or …

Previous experiments on behavioral momentum have shown that relative resistance to
extinction of operant behavior in the presence of a stimulus depends on the rate of …

Behavioral treatments arranging differential reinforcement effectively treat severe problem
behavior while interventions are underway. However, many events challenge these …

Resurgence is the reappearance of an extinguished behavior when an alternative behavior
reinforced during extinction is subsequently placed on extinction. Resurgence is of particular …

In recounting his early research agenda, Skinner (1956) described the serendipitous event
that led to the discovery of operant extinction curves. The pellet dispenser on his apparatus …
