Basic research with pigeons on behavioral momentum suggests that differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) can increase the resistance of target behavior to change. This finding suggests that clinical applications of DRA may inadvertently increase the persistence of target behavior even as it decreases its frequency. We conducted three coordinated experiments to test whether DRA ...

Containers have become increasingly popular in computing and software engineering are gaining traction scientific research. They allow packaging up all code dependencies to ensure that analyses run reliably across a range of operating systems versions. Despite being crucial component for reproducible science, containerization has yet mainstream psychology. In this tutorial, we describe the logi...
