“…Data similar to those of the present study can be found in Kelley, Nadler, Rey, Cowie, and Podlesnik (2017). The authors conducted a translational study to verify the effects of noncontingent reinforcement at different densities on problem behavior and the acquisition of desirable alternative responses.…”

“…Therefore, the momentary variables influencing instances of resurgence remain to be determined. Assessments employing both animals and human participants are well suited to demonstrating the generality of effects (see also Kelley, Liddon, Ribeiro, Greif, & Podlesnik, ; Kelley, Nadler, Rey, Cowie, & Podlesnik, ; Nevin et al, ) while providing a platform from which to devise methods to mitigate resurgence of problem behavior resulting from omissions of alternative reinforcement during DRA treatments.…”

Resurgence is defined as the recurrence of a previously reinforced and then extinguished target response when reducing or eliminating a more recently reinforced alternative response. In experiments with children and pigeons, we evaluated patterns of resurgence across and within sessions through decreases in reinforcer availability by challenging alternative responding with extinction and progressive‐ratio schedules. In Phase 1, we reinforced only target responding. In Phase 2, we extinguished target responding while reinforcing an alternative response. Finally, Phase 3 assessed resurgence by (a) extinguishing alternative responding versus (b) introducing a progressive‐ratio schedule of reinforcement for alternative responding. In both children and pigeons, resurgence of target responding occurred in both conditions but generally was greater when assessed during extinction than with progressive ratios. Importantly, within‐session patterns of resurgence did not differ between testing with progressive ratios and extinction. Resurgence with progressive ratios tended to be greater with longer durations between reinforcers but we observed similar findings with only simulated reinforcers during extinction testing. Therefore, the present investigation reveals that the events contributing to instances of resurgence remain to be understood, and presents an approach from which to examine variables influencing within‐session patterns of resurgence.

“…The past decade witnessed a tendency for coupled/comparative studies, in which the results obtained from avian and human subjects were jointly analyzed. Most of these studies tackled different behavioral features of diagnostic or therapeutic significance of ASD ( Koshiba et al, 2016 ; Kelley et al, 2017 ; Galizio et al, 2020 ; Shvarts et al, 2020 ). In addition, molecular neuroanatomical studies, carried out on multiple species, including man, have also been reported, e.g., for the comparative localization of FMRP (see above) in the auditory system ( Wang et al, 2014 ).…”

The current review is an update on experimental approaches in which birds serve as model species for the investigation of typical failure symptoms associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The discussion is focused on deficiencies of social behavior, from social interactions of domestic chicks, based on visual and auditory cues, to vocal communication in songbirds. Two groups of pathogenetic/risk factors are discussed: 1) non-genetic (environmental/epigenetic) factors, exemplified by embryonic exposure to valproic acid (VPA), and 2) genetic factors, represented by a list of candidate genes and signaling pathways of diagnostic or predictive value in ASD patients. Given the similarities of birds as experimental models to humans (visual orientation, vocal learning, social cohesions), avian models usefully contribute toward the elucidation of the neural systems and developmental factors underlying ASD, improving the applicability of preclinical results obtained on laboratory rodents. Furthermore, they may predict potential susceptibility factors worthy of investigation (both by animal studies and by monitoring human babies at risk), with potential therapeutic consequence.
