Following successful treatment in which problem behavior is reduced, it may reemerge as a
function of changes in contextual stimuli or the worsening of reinforcement conditions for an …

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

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 …

Procedural extinction is sometimes associated with a temporary increase in responding
known as an extinction burst. Extinction bursts present unique challenges in the context of …

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

In their seminal paper, Baer et al.(1968) described seven dimensions of behavioral
research. Two important qualities were (1) outcomes of such work should possess generality …

Basic and retrospective translational research has shown that the magnitude of resurgence
is determined by the size of the decrease in alternative reinforcement, with larger decreases …

Abstract Resurgence as Choice in Context (RaC2) is a quantitative model for evaluating the
reemergence of a previously extinguished response when alternative reinforcement is …

In the context of problem behavior, treatment integrity refers to the extent to which a
behavioral intervention is implemented as intended. Treatment-integrity errors may lead to …

Renewal is a type of relapse that occurs due to a change in context. Previous research has
demonstrated that renewal of target responding may occur despite the availability of …
