    Study Notes

    Study Overview

    • Primary objective: Investigate the occurrence of resurgence with and without an alternative response.
    • Focuses on the psychological phenomenon of resurgence.

    Key Findings

    • Resurgence can occur regardless of an alternative behavior's presence.
    • The study reveals that introducing an alternative response alone is not sufficient to completely prevent resurgence.
    • Alternative responses do not eliminate resurgence; comprehensive strategies are advised to mitigate it.

    Practical Implications for Behavior Analysts

    • Comprehensive strategies are essential to manage resurgence effectively.
    • Understanding the reinforcement history and context can influence behavior persistence and recurrence.

    Role of Context and Reinforcement

    • Context and reinforcement history significantly affect behavior change, impacting both persistence and recurrence of behaviors.
    • They are not irrelevant; instead, they are crucial components in understanding resurgence.

    Future Research Directions

    • Suggested to explore parameters that influence both the magnitude and duration of resurgence.
    • Emphasis on understanding more about context and reinforcement dynamics rather than limiting research to confined environments.
