Invited Paper Session #20
CE Offered: PSY/BACB/QABA/NASP
Relapse of Treatments for Challenging Behavior: Translational Research and Implications for Practice
Monday, March 7, 2022
11:30 AM–12:20 PM
Fourth Floor; Grand Ballroom 1/2
Area: AUT; Domain: Basic Research
Chair: Julia Ferguson (Autism Partnership Foundation)
CE Instructor: Henry Roane, Ph.D.
Presenting Author: HENRY S. ROANE (Upstate Medical University and Elemy Autism Care)
Abstract:

Function-based treatment of challenging behavior often involves withholding reinforcement for challenging behavior (i.e., extinction) while simultaneously reinforcing alternative behavior (i.e., differential reinforcement). The arrangement of these two contingencies lends itself to further study through translational research methods, which involve the extension of laboratory-based research findings to every clinical practice. In particular, prior research has shown that if reinforcement of alternative behavior is reduced, eliminated, or implemented with poor integrity, challenging behavior may re-emerge (i.e., clinical relapse). This talk will present two lines of translational research related to the translational study of treatment relapse. Highlighting data from our own lab as well as published work of others, the talk will provide the audience with an introduction to translational research, concepts related to the study of treatment relapse, and case examples to illustrate implications for clinical practice.

Instruction Level: Intermediate
Target Audience:

Board certified behavior analysts; licensed psychologists; graduate students.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) discuss translational research and how it impacts daily clinical practice; (2) describe how response variability might impact treatment development and planning for generalization; (3) describe how context changes can impact client responding.
