Abstract:
Behavioral Momentum Theory (BMT) and Resurgence as Choice (RaC) are two theoretical and quantitative models of behavior that, when applied prospectively, might improve behavioral treatments and increase the likelihood of long-term success. Despite the plausible benefit of using BMT and RaC to guide clinical decision-making, it is unclear how frequently these models are prospectively used in practice. We briefly review contemporary research on BMT and RaC as related to the treatment of problem behavior. We discuss potential barriers and solutions to their prospective application, as well as areas for future research.
