Testing for Recurrence of Ratio-Strained Behavior with Reinstatement, Resurgence, and Renewal

Abstract: If more and more responding is required to earn a reinforcer, as in progressive ratio schedules, behavior eventually becomes "strained," characterized by long pauses and irregular response patterns. If the response requirement continues to escalate, behavior reaches a "break point" and ultimately ceases altogether for a period of time. The present experiments investigated whether responding can be regenerated after the break point has been reached, using techniques that are known to produce recurrence of behav… Show more

“…The procedures used in the three experiments reported here compressed a conventional three-stage resurgence procedure into a single-session test of resurgence that could then be repeated to generate resurgence over as many as 30 successive sessions. There have been a few previous reports of within-session resurgence with nonhuman animals (Bai et al, 2017;Kincaid, 2015;Kincaid & Lattal, 2018), but, as noted in the introduction, the Fig. 9.…”

“…Such demonstrations of repeated resurgence as those of Kincaid (2015;Kincaid & Lattal, 2018) and Bai et al (2017) expand the conditions under which resurgence can occur. The resurgence (and its controlling variables) that develops under the somewhat idiosyncratic conditions used in both those experiments, however, bear an unknown relation to the more conventional resurgence procedure.…”
