AB541: Concepts & Principles II Study Guide (15 points) Unit 6: Resurgence & Behavioral Momentum Student: Crishtine Sundar Fill out each question of the study guide using readings, powerpoints, and textbooks. 1. Define behavioral momentum. (1pt) a. Behavioral momentum is defined as the persistsence of behavior after an enviromental change. This would be the likelihood the behavior will showcase greater behavioral momentum, the more it is reinforced. 2. What is the alternative theory regarding resistance to extinction? Name and define. (1 pt) a. Partial Reinforcement Extinction Effect (PREE) is the alternative theory that presents itself as a resistance to extinction. This theory states that during aquisition when individuals are presented with intermittent reinforcnment, it increases the persistent responding when under succeeding conditions, compared to with continuous reinforcement. 3. Compare the two theories: (2 pt) a. With PREE extinction is more prompt in CRF than INT, whilst in behavioral momentum it’s the opposite with extinction being more prompt with INT than CRF. b. Behavior that is reinforced on an INT is more resistance to extinction when dealing with PREE but with behavioral momentum, CRF is more resistant to extinction. 4. Define resurgence. (1pt) a. When a previously reinforced response resurfaces due to a current reinforcement being terminated.

5. State at least 2 variables that affect resurgence based on literature & how. (1 pt). a. When a DRA is terminated after an intervention, that serves as the basis for a reappearance of problem behavior. The resurgence is caused by the reduction in the rate of alternative reinforcement given. b. Alternative reinforcers, that are denied during extinction procedures for problem behavior can continue to occur and be reinforced due to lapses in treatment intergrity. This would cause resurgence but the problem behavior will continue to go become extinct because of some form of treatment by a party associated. 6. Write out how you would write a procedure for a skill acquisition program based on behavioral momentum for a parent or an RBT. Be specific, clear, and complete. (2 pts) a. Behavioral Momentum is introducing a previously mastered task to a child whilst they are learning a new harder task. An example of this would be in DTT when its used by BCBA’s to increase confidence in their clients. An example I used with my client was counting to five when they were learning their animals. Parent/ RBT: “What number is this (10)?” (the high-p request) Wait five seconds for client to respond Client: “Ten!” Parent/ RBT: “God job! Count to five for me!” (the high-p request) Wait five seconds for client to respond Parent/ RBT: “What number is this (10)?” (the high-p request) Wait five seconds for client to respond Client: “one, two, three, four, five” Parent/ RBT: “Great job! What animal is this?!” (the low-p request)
