Individuals who engage in problem behavior receive treatment services in various settings, such as their homes, schools, and clinics. These individuals are also likely to experience treatment provision from various practitioners, such as therapists, teachers, and caregivers. Changes in the treatment setting or intervention agent (i.e., context) can cause renewal of problem behavior. Renewal is the form of relapse that occurs when a previously eliminated behavior returns due to a change in context. Practitioners should know six things about renewal to improve clinical practice: (1) generality of renewal; (2) potential for renewal even when alternative reinforcement is available; (3) similarity between renewal testing procedures and situations that practitioners commonly encounter; (4) close relationship between renewal and the generalization of behavior change; (5) distinction between renewal and another form of relapse (i.e., resurgence); and (6) potential mitigation strategies. Practitioners should prepare for renewal during context changes when working with their clients, especially during changes to the treatment setting or intervention agent.

从事问题行为的个人在各种环境中接受治疗服务，例如他们的家、学校和诊所。这些人也可能从各种从业者那里获得治疗，例如治疗师、教师和护理人员。治疗环境或干预因素（即环境）的变化可能会导致问题行为的更新。更新是当先前消除的行为由于环境变化而返回时发生的复发形式。从业者应了解更新的六件事以改善临床实践：（1）更新的普遍性；(2) 即使有替代强化物，也有更新的潜力；(3) 换证测试程序与从业人员经常遇到的情况相似；(4) 更新与行为改变的泛化密切相关；(5) 更新与另一种形式的复发（即死灰复燃）的区别；(6) 潜在的缓解策略。从业者在与客户合作时，尤其是在治疗环境或干预代理发生变化期间，应为环境变化做好准备。
