治疗复发，定义为治疗后问题行为的重新出现，是临床医生面临的一个严重困难。治疗完整性失败（即，未能按计划实施干预措施）经常被用来解释问题行为的重新出现。基础研究表明，普遍的刺激环境也可能起作用。我们进行了2个实验，其中目标反应的强化之后是2个阶段的灭绝与不同或相同的刺激背景相对于基线（阿坝更新）。在实验1中，鸽子作为受试者，使用基本行为研究中使用的典型程序。实验2的设计是实验1的翻译复制，被诊断为自闭症的儿童作为参与者。返回到以前加强刺激的情况下，在这两个物种产生了明确的和立即增加的熄灭响应。这些发现与先前的研究一致，这些研究表明，强化偶然性和刺激环境都会影响熄灭行为的重现。
Treatment relapse, defined as the reemergence of problem behavior after treatment, is a serious difficulty faced by clinicians. Failures of treatment integrity (i.e., failure to implement interventions as intended) are often invoked to explain the reemergence of problem behavior. Basic studies suggest that the prevailing stimulus context might also contribute. We conducted 2 experiments in which reinforcement for a target response was followed by 2 phases of extinction with different or identical stimulus contexts relative to baseline (ABA renewal). In Experiment 1, pigeons served as subjects using procedures typical of those used in basic behavioral research. Experiment 2 was designed as a translational replication of Experiment 1, and children who had been diagnosed with autism served as participants. Returning to the previously reinforced stimulus context in both species produced a clear and immediate increase of extinguished responding. These findings are consistent with previous studies that have suggested that both reinforcement contingencies and stimulus context influence the reemergence of extinguished behavior.
