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.
