Resurgence is an increase in a previously suppressed behavior resulting from a worsening
in reinforcement conditions for current behavior. Resurgence is often observed following …

Functional communication training is a well‐established treatment for socially reinforced
destructive behavior that typically includes differential reinforcement of the functional …

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

The effectiveness of functional communication training as treatment for problem behavior
depends on the extent to which treatment can be extended to typical environments that …

The resurgence of destructive behavior can occur during functional communication training
(FCT) if the alternative response contacts a challenge (eg, extinction). Behavioral …

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 …

Concepts from behavioral momentum theory, along with some empirical findings, suggest
that the rate of baseline reinforcement may contribute to the relapse of severe destructive …

Translation of promising procedures for mitigating treatment relapse has received
considerable attention recently from researchers across the basic–applied continuum. One …

In the clinic, differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) often involves
programming extinction for destructive behavior while reinforcing an alternative form of …

Quantitative models of resurgence (eg, Behavioral Momentum Theory, Resurgence as
Choice) suggest that resurgence is partly a function of the duration of extinction exposure …
