Abstract in brief

Resurgence as Choice (RaC) is a new quantitative model explaining why previously suppressed behaviors reappear when reinforcement for alternative behaviors is reduced or stopped, highlighting it as a choice process.
The model compares resurgence to the matching law, which describes how organisms allocate their responses based on reinforcement, and addresses limitations of the older Behavioral Momentum Theory in predicting resurgence across different situations.
Understanding RaC can help improve strategies for promoting long-lasting behavior change by better predicting and managing when behaviors might resurge after interventions.]
