Abstract

Over the last decade, behavior analysts have become increasingly interested in relapse and have used the term to describe the reemergence of problem behavior following successful reductions achieved during clinical intervention. Nonetheless, some elements of the current terminology may interfere with behavior analysts' efforts to examine, predict, and mitigate the conditions that lead to the reemergence of severe problem behavior in clinical settings. The current article (1) describes how the term "relapse" has been used in the field of behavior analysis and fails to capture more nuanced effects observed in the reemergence of problem behavior; (2) suggests use of the terms "lapse" and "relapse" to capture these distinct effects; and (3) outlines the positive impact enhanced technological distinction between the concept of "lapse" and "relapse" could have on clinical research and practice.

区分“失效”和“复发”的必要性。
在过去的十年中,行为分析师对复发越来越感兴趣,并使用这个术语来描述在临床干预期间成功减少问题行为后再次出现的问题行为。尽管如此,当前术语的一些元素可能会干扰行为分析师检查、预测和减轻导致临床环境中严重问题行为重新出现的条件的努力。当前的文章(1)描述了“复发”一词是如何在行为分析领域中使用的,并且未能捕捉到在问题行为重新出现时观察到的更细微的影响;(2)建议使用术语“失效”和“复发”来描述这些不同的影响;(3)概述了加强对“失效”和“复发”概念的技术区分可能对临床研究和实践产生的积极影响。
