Preventing Relapse of Problem Behavior Through Behavioral Economics: a Translational Analysis

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a novel tactic for mitigating reinstatement compared to the current standard of care approach using a translational-treatment model. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. how well does progressive ratio training mitigate response-dependent reinstatement compared to the standard of care approach? 2. how well does progressive ratio training mitigate response-independent reinstatement compared to the standard of care approach?

Conditions

Problem Behavior, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
