The connection, or bridge, between applied and basic behavior analysis has been long-established (Hake, 1982; Mace & Critchfield, 2010). In this article, we describe how clinical decisions can be based more directly on behavioral processes and how basing clinical procedures on behavioral processes can lead to improved clinical outcomes. As a case in point, we describe how applied behavior analyses of maintenance, and specifically the long-term maintenance of treatment effects related to problem behavior, can be adjusted and potentially enhanced by basing treatment on Behavioral Momentum Theory. We provide a brief review of the literature including descriptions of two translational studies that proposed changes in how differential reinforcement of alternative behavior treatments are conducted based on Behavioral Momentum Theory. We then describe current clinical examples of how these translations are continuing to impact the definitions, designs, analyses, and treatment procedures used in our clinical practice.
应用行为分析与基础行为分析之间的联系，即桥梁，早已确立（哈克，1982年；梅斯和克里奇菲尔德，2010年）。在本文中，我们描述了临床决策如何能更直接地基于行为过程，以及将临床程序建立在行为过程基础上如何能带来更好的临床结果。作为一个例子，我们描述了如何通过将治疗建立在行为动量理论基础上，来调整并可能增强应用行为分析中的维持分析，特别是与问题行为相关的治疗效果的长期维持。我们简要回顾了文献，包括两项转化研究的描述，这两项研究提出了基于行为动量理论改变替代行为治疗的差别强化实施方式。然后，我们描述了当前的临床实例，说明这些转化如何持续影响我们临床实践中使用的定义、设计、分析和治疗程序。
