Extensive research has been dedicated to the study of resurgence following extinction and differential reinforcement of alternative behavior. Less is known about the effects of punishment on resurgence. This study extended previous research by examining whether the magnitude of response cost punishment affects resurgence of human operant behavior. College students engaged in a computer task using the three-phase resurgence procedure where points were used to reinforce target (Phase 1) or alternative (Phase 2) behavior. Across three groups, Phase 2 contingencies for the target response were manipulated. In one group, only extinction was implemented. In the other two groups, response cost was also implemented. Response cost was equal to or double the number of points that could be gained for alternative responding. Resurgence was similar in Phase 3 across the three groups, demonstrating that neither the addition nor the magnitude of punishment differentially affected response recovery under these conditions. Future research should examine other parameters of punishment (e.g., delay, schedule) and how these variables interact with different parameters of alternative reinforcement to increase our understanding of the conditions under which resurgence may be exacerbated or minimized.

响应成本大小对人类操作行为复苏的影响

广泛的研究致力于研究灭绝后的复兴和替代行为的差异强化。关于惩罚对死灰复燃的影响知之甚少。本研究通过检查反应成本惩罚的幅度是否影响人类操作行为的复苏来扩展先前的研究。大学生使用三阶段复兴程序从事计算机任务,其中使用积分来强化目标(阶段 1)或替代(阶段 2)行为。在三组中,对目标响应的第 2 阶段突发事件进行了操作。在一组中,只实施了灭绝。在其他两组中,也实施了响应成本。响应成本等于或两倍于替代响应可以获得的分数。三组的第 3 阶段的复苏相似,表明在这些条件下,惩罚的增加和惩罚的幅度都不会对反应恢复产生不同的影响。未来的研究应该检查惩罚的其他参数(例如,延迟、时间表)以及这些变量如何与替代强化的不同参数相互作用,以增加我们对可能加剧或最小化死灰复燃的条件的理解。
