    Improving behavior change programs requires enhancing durable extra-therapy responding. This study found that partial reinforcement and noncontingent reinforcers in the extra-therapy setting improve response maintenance and generalization.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Applied Behavior Analysis

    Background:

    • Programs for initial behavior change often outperform those for durable extra-therapy responding.
    • Generalization and maintenance of behavior in extra-therapy settings are critical for long-term treatment success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate factors influencing durable extra-therapy responding.
    • To differentiate between generalization and maintenance of behavior.
    • To inform the development of effective intervention strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Experiment I: Continuous recording of responding in therapy and extra-therapy settings to assess generalization.
    • Experiment II: Assessment of partial reinforcement schedules and noncontingent reinforcers on extra-therapy responding durability.

    Main Results:

    • Experiment I revealed varied generalization, with some participants failing to generalize behavior to extra-therapy settings.
    • For participants who generalized, extra-therapy responding was not maintained over time.
    • Experiment II identified partial reinforcement and noncontingent reinforcers as influential variables for durable extra-therapy responding.

    Conclusions:

    • Extra-therapy responding comprises distinct parameters: generalization and maintenance.
    • Different treatment procedures may be required to address deficits in generalization versus maintenance.
    • Developing a technology for durable extra-therapy responding necessitates tailored interventions.
