基于替代行为的差异强化的治疗，例如功能性沟通训练，被广泛使用。关于维持相关治疗效果的研究有限。 Nevin 和 Wacker（2013）为治疗维持研究提供了一个植根于行为动量理论的概念框架，该框架解决了两个组成部分：（a）问题行为的重新出现，以及（b）适当行为的持续表达。在关于这个主题的少数研究中，重点是影响问题行为重新出现的变量，很少有研究评估适当行为的持续性。鉴于与功能性沟通训练相关的应用研究的结果，与反应地形相关的变量（例如反应偏好）可能会影响维护的这方面。在当前的研究中，在功能性沟通训练的背景下，对没有表现出问题行为的个体（实验1）和有问题行为强化历史的个体（实验2）评估了反应偏好对持久性的影响。高偏好的需求比低偏好的需求更持久。这些发现表明，反应相关变量，例如反应偏好、影响反应持续性，并进一步表明，在制定功能性沟通训练等干预措施时，应考虑反应相关变量。
Treatments based on differential reinforcement of alternative behavior, such as functional communication training, are widely used. Research regarding the maintenance of related treatment effects is limited. Nevin and Wacker (2013) provided a conceptual framework, rooted in behavioral momentum theory, for the study of treatment maintenance that addressed two components: (a) reemergence of problem behavior, and (b) continued expression of appropriate behavior. In the few studies on this topic, focus has been on variables impacting the reemergence of problem behavior, with fewer studies evaluating the persistence of appropriate behavior. Given the findings from applied research related to functional communication training, variables related to response topography, such as response preference, may impact this aspect of maintenance. In the current study, the impact of response preference on persistence was evaluated in the context of functional communication training for individuals who did not exhibit problem behavior (Experiment 1) and for individuals with a history of reinforcement for problem behavior (Experiment 2). High‐preferred mands were more persistent than low‐preferred mands. These findings suggest that response related variables, such as response preference, impact response persistence and further suggest that response related variables should be considered when developing interventions such as functional communication training.
