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 …

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 …

Renewal is a relapse phenomenon that occurs when previously treated target behavior re-
emerges as a result of context change. Typically, a target response is reinforced in Context …

Abstract Behavioral Momentum Theory (BMT) is often described as analogous to Newton's
(1687) laws of motion. That is to say, similar to an object in motion continuing in motion …

The persistence of operant behavior when disrupted tends to be positively related to how
often reinforcers were delivered in the past. Behavioral momentum theory describes this …

The present experiments assessed whether resistance to extinction of pigeons' key pecking
decreased across repeated extinction tests. An additional impetus for this research was to …

Behavior change interventions that incentivize desired behavior are highly effective for
improving personal health, but difficult to maintain long term. Relapse is common and …

Resurgence after different number of sessions (4, 12, or 36) was studied in two experiments
using a four-phase procedure–that is, target-response extinction and alternative-response …

Frequentemente nos deparamos com situações em que observamos o reaparecimento de
algum comportamento que há muito tempo não ocorria. O termo “recaída” tem sido utilizado …

There has been an evaluation of the effects of lag schedules of reinforcement with functional
communication training (FCT) with mand variability and challenging behavior in three …
