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 …

Schedule thinning is a necessary treatment procedure following the acquisition of a
communication response during functional communication training. In this article, we update …

Prior studies on treatment relapse have typically examined the prevalence of resurgence or
renewal of target behavior (eg, destructive behavior) in isolation. This study analyzed both …

Resurgence and renewal are treatment‐relapse phenomena in which previously
extinguished behavior returns after the conditions for an alternative response worsen or the …

The behavioral processes determining the magnitude of the resurgence of destructive
behavior during reinforcement schedule thinning have yet to be described, despite an uptick …

Behavioral momentum theory (BMT) suggests that resurgence of destructive behavior may
be at least partly determined by the rate of alternative reinforcement, with lean schedules of …

Cycling between the availability and unavailability of reinforcement for alternative
responding has successfully reduced resurgence in basic laboratory evaluations, but this …

Schedule thinning is a common clinical procedure used to make behavioral interventions
such as functional communication training more feasible in the community. Unfortunately …

The recurrence of a previously eliminated or reduced behavior following a downshift in
alternative reinforcement is referred to as resurgence. Resurgence as Choice (RaC) is a …

Resurgence refers to an increase in a previously suppressed target behavior with a relative
worsening of conditions for a more recently reinforced alternative behavior. This experiment …
