One framework centers on a contextual account of resurgence, which posits the discriminative properties of reinforcers modulate relapse based on their prior association with response establishment and elimination contingencies. A growing body of basic and translational research supports this contextual account. In this review, we systematically examined the resurgence literature involving studies in which authors employed a three-phase arrangement: an initial reinforcement phase with one set of reinforcers was introduced for the target response, a second phase in which a different set of reinforcers was introduced for an alternative response, and a final phase where both reinforcers were delivered on a response-independent schedule. Six studies spanning seven highly technical experiments with human and non-human participants were included and summarized with respect to participant and setting characteristics, experimental designs, reinforcement schedules, and the effect of reinforcer type on relapse outcomes. Findings offer preliminary evidence that the discriminative properties of reinforcers modulate resurgence. We provide several recommendations for future basic and translational research on the contextual account of resurgence, with a particular emphasis on incentivized choice paradigms, the discriminatory properties and effects of digital versus physical reinforcers, and applications to function-informed interventions.","PeriodicalId":44993,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on Behavior Science","volume":"48 4","pages":"711-729"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12811177/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145999264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relational learning paradigms such as stimulus equivalence learning (SEL) imply the formation of networks of relations in which trained relations give rise to emergent relations, potentially providing a novel approach to addressing deficits in remembering and stimulus control. We evaluated the scope and nature of research on the application of relational learning paradigms for memory rehabilitation. In particular, we outline the evidence for the efficacy of identity matching and SEL in specific disorders, the associated effective strategies, and challenges to guide future research. A systematic search following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines identified 23 reports categorized into identity matching, arbitrary matching, and differential outcome procedure (DOP) paradigms. Findings were mixed regarding the success of training procedures. Studies indicate particularly positive outcomes under the DOP and overall efficacy seemed to depend on impairment severity. However, current evidence on the efficacy of relational learning paradigms in individuals with explicit memory dysfunction remains inconclusive due to uncontrolled designs and methodological weaknesses in statistical analysis and patient reporting. Nevertheless, insights from the reviewed studies can inform more rigorous future research. The focus should be on identifying the necessary and sufficient conditions for training stimulus equivalence relations in this population, within meaningful and well-controlled experimental designs to validate the preliminary findings and assess SEL's potential as a cognitive intervention.","PeriodicalId":44993,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on Behavior Science","volume":"48 4","pages":"759-802"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12811203/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145999270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This state of affairs has encouraged critical appraisal of the very relationship between preclinical findings and their clinical applications in psychiatric practice. One consequence of such reflection has been a growing emphasis on reverse translation in preclinical research. Traditional preclinical approaches with laboratory animals have most often used a forward translational approach designed to identify classes of organized animal behavior that serve to predict outcomes in humans. On the other hand, reverse translational approaches identify patterns of human behavior revealed by task performance to develop assays with maximal formal similarity in laboratory animals. Presumably, such correspondence will evoke functionally similar behavioral outcomes across species, allowing for rigorous assessment of innovative, sometimes invasive, behavioral and pharmacological treatment strategies impossible to examine in human subjects without substantial preclinical evidence of safety and efficacy. Following validation and optimization, a reverse translational framework can be used for coordinated bidirectional pursuits across species to accelerate the drug discovery process. To aid appraisals of emerging reverse translational techniques, the present review outlines five considerations based on their longstanding association with rigorous assessments in behavioral science and informed by behaviorist traditions. Emphases on behavior, pharmacology, environmental determinants, levels of analysis, and cross-species continuity are discussed, with an emphasis on the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework to advance innovative therapeutic strategies for treatment-resistant neuropsychiatric illness.","PeriodicalId":44993,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on Behavior Science","volume":"49 1","pages":"9-26"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13013796/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147522269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its explanatory power rests on three core assumptions: (1) human symbolic behavior is grounded in the semantic relation between words and their referents; (2) this relation is one of equivalence; and in consequence (3) there is a transfer of stimulus functions between words and their referents. These assumptions are also endorsed by relational frame theory (RFT), although considering equivalence as a consequence of a relation of sameness within a relational frame of coordination. However, this article shows that the referential relation is neither reflexive, symmetrical, nor transitive, and therefore cannot be characterized as one of equivalence or sameness, invalidating (2) and (3). It is also shown that other attempts to support (2) or (3), based on the Fields-Place principle or contextual control, fail to achieve their aim. It is argued that between the behavior of the speaker and the listener, there is a functional asymmetry that grounds the asymmetry of the referential relation, and typical SE and RFT experimental paradigms cannot capture it. Finally, some consequences for the study of the SE phenomenon and the study of symbolic behavior from the perspective of behavior analysis are discussed.","PeriodicalId":44993,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on Behavior Science","volume":"48 4","pages":"803-826"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12811220/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145999226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The former often experience and perceive ABA as harmful and traumatic in its methods, and prejudicial and stigmatizing in its objectives, with some of the latter retorting that criticisms reflect misunderstandings of the science rather than areas of true concern. The result? A deep and contentious conceptual divide, leaving little room for dialogue or progress. Recent months, though, have seen a tentative shift. Alongside recognition that behavioral interventions are so deeply entrenched that they are here to stay, some critical autism scholars are gingerly initiating public conversations with behavioral practitioners in a spirit of taking a pragmatic approach to meaningful reform. Further, a new generation of behavior analysts-including some autistic practitioners-is emerging, recognizing problems in their field, and considering how to address them. Interest in such developments is spreading and signals an opportunity for behavior analysts to follow other academic and advocate communities that recognize the importance of interdisciplinarity and critical self-reflection to evolve as a field. We-an interdisciplinary team of critical autism, neurodiversity, and behavior analysis scholars-feel that formalizing a broad field for scholars and practitioners sharing these ambitions holds potential. This field-let's call it Critical Behavioral Studies-would favor profound social, cultural, and historical understanding, a commitment to extend the scope of training to better contextualize practice in relation to the group served, and the self-examination that would bring meaningful change to the field.","PeriodicalId":44993,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on Behavior Science","volume":"48 3","pages":"539-545"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12411382/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145013409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
