“…For example, decreases in reinforcement rate relative to baseline (DeRosa, Fisher, & Steege, 2015) and shifts from dense to lean schedules of reinforcement during FCT (Volkert, Lerman, Call, & Trosclair-Lasserre, 2009) have been shown to produce reemergence, or resurgence, of destructive behavior. Resurgence is generally defined as the recurrence of a previously reinforced response (e.g., destructive behavior) when alternative reinforcement is challenged (e.g., extinction or schedule thinning; Leitenberg, Rawson, & Bath, 1970; Lieving, Hagopian, Long, & O'Connor, 2004; Lieving & Lattal, 2003; Pritchard, Hoerger, & Mace, 2014; Volkert et al, 2009; Winterbauer & Bouton, 2010). Resurgence is a potentially important topic to study in applied research because of the likelihood of lapses in treatment integrity in naturalistic environments.…”
