“…Laboratory analyses of renewal typically consist of three phases (baseline, treatment, and a renewal test). In the case of research using rat subjects, for example, a target behavior like lever pressing may be reinforced in the presence of one context (Context A) defined by unique exteroceptive (e.g., auditory, visual, olfactory, tactile, and/or social; e.g., Bouton et al, ; Browning & Shahan, ) and/or interoceptive (e.g., drug states, hunger level; Bouton, Kenney, & Rosengard, ; Schepers & Bouton, ) stimuli. Next, during treatment, lever pressing may be placed on extinction in the presence of a second, distinct set of contextual variables (Context B).…”

Basic‐laboratory assessments of renewal may inform clinical efforts to maintain reduction of severe destructive behavior when clients transition between contexts. The contextual changes arranged during standard renewal procedures, however, do not necessarily align with those that clients experience during outpatient therapy. More specifically, clients transition between clinical (associated with extinction for target behavior) and home/community (associated with reinforcement for target behavior) contexts during outpatient treatment. Standard renewal assessments do not incorporate these contextual alternations during treatment. The present experiment aimed to directly compare renewal of rats' lever pressing following a standard (“sequential”) ABA renewal procedure (i.e., baseline in Context A, extinction in Context B, renewal test in Context A) and a “nonsequential” renewal assessment wherein treatment consisted of daily alternation between Context A (associated with reinforcement for lever pressing) and Context B (associated with extinction). Lever pressing renewed to a greater extent for rats in the Nonsequential group than for rats in the Sequential group, suggesting the contextual changes that clients experience during outpatient treatment for severe destructive behavior may be a variable that is important to consider in translational research on renewal. Potential implications of these findings for basic and clinical research on renewal are discussed.

“…Importantly, renewal is not limited to aversive CSs. Renewal effects have been observed using appetitive stimuli (Browning & Shahan, 2018;Kuroda, Mizutani, Cançado, & Podelsnik, 2017;Rhodes & Kilcross, 2007) and behavior maintained by positive reinforcement in laboratory and applied settings (Podelsnik, Kelley, Jimenez-Gomez, & Bouton, 2017;Wathen & Podelsnik, 2018).…”

Exposure-based treatment for threat avoidance in anxiety disorders often results in fear renewal. However, little is known about renewal of avoidance. This multimodal laboratory-based treatment study used an ABA renewal design and an approach-avoidance (AP-AV) task to examine renewal of fear/threat and avoidance in twenty adults. In Context A, 9 visual cues paired with increases in probabilistic money loss (escalating threats) produced increases in ratings of feeling threatened and loss expectancies and skin-conductance responses (SCR). During the AP-AV task, a monetary reinforcer was available concurrently with threats. Approach produced the reinforcer or probabilistic loss, while avoidance prevented loss and forfeited reinforcement. Escalating threat produced increasing avoidance and ratings. In Context B with Pavlovian extinction, threats signaled no money loss and SCR declined. During the AP-AV task, avoidance and ratings also declined. In a return to Context A with Pavlovian threat extinction in effect during the AP-AV task, renewal was observed. Escalating threat was associated with increasing ratings and avoidance in most participants. SCR did not show renewal. These are the first translational findings to highlight renewal of avoidance in humans. Further research should identify individual difference variables and altered neural mechanisms that may confer increased risk of avoidance renewal.

“…However, when rats were given continuous access to social interaction, alcohol intake was lower compared to rats that were provided with intermittent access opportunities (Tomie, Lewis, Curiotto, & Pohorecky, 2007), indicating that social communication‐related factors can affect probability of alcohol use. That social stimuli function as contextual cues in rats has also been demonstrated by the study of Browning and Shahan (2018).…”

Multiple interindividual and intra‐individual factors underlie variability in drinking motives, challenging clinical translatability of animal research and limiting treatment success of substance use‐related problems. Intra‐individual variability refers to time‐dependent continuous and discrete changes within the individual and in substance use research is studied as momentary variation in the internal states (craving, stressed, anxious, impulsive and tired) and response to external triggers (stressors, drug‐associated environmental cues and social encounters). These momentary stimuli have a direct impact on behavioural decisions and may be triggers and predictors of substance consumption. They also present potential targets for real‐time behavioural and pharmacological interventions. In this review, we provide an overview of the studies demonstrating different momentary risk factors associated with increased probability of alcohol drinking in humans and changes in alcohol seeking and consumption in animals. The review also provides an overview of pharmacological interventions related to every individual risk factor.
