Resurgence is the reoccurrence of a target response when reinforcement for a more recently reinforced alternative response is eliminated or reduced. The present study arranged two successive three-phase procedures to assess whether resurgence decreases with repeated assessments. Moreover, we arranged a contextual change from the first to second assessment for some groups. Phase 1 reinforced a target response on a touchscreen computer with typically developing adults as participants according to either variable-ratio or variable-interval schedules of reinforcement. Phase 2 extinguished target responding and reinforced alternative responding. Phase 3 tested for resurgence by extinguishing alternative responding. Resurgence reliably occurred in all tests and decreased from the first to second exposure to the procedures but there were no effects of context change. Therefore, repeated exposures to resurgence tests reduced those effects but contextual changes had no effect.
当对一个更新近得到强化的替代反应的强化被消除或减少时，恢复是目标反应的再次出现。本研究安排了两个连续的三相程序，以评估恢复是否会随着重复评估而减少。此外，我们为一些组安排了从第一次评估到第二次评估的情境变化。第一阶段，以典型发育的成年人作为参与者，根据可变比率或可变间隔强化程序，在触摸屏电脑上强化目标反应。第二阶段消除目标反应并强化替代反应。第三阶段通过消除替代反应来测试恢复情况。在所有测试中恢复都可靠地出现了，并且从第一次接触该程序到第二次接触时有所减少，但情境变化没有影响。因此，重复接触恢复测试会减少这些影响，但情境变化没有效果。
