Craig A, Smith S, Nall R, Sullivan W, Roane H
Perspect Behav Sci . 2024 Aug; 47(2):335-363. PMID: 39099746
Resurgence is an increase in the rate of a previously suppressed behavior that occurs when an alternative source of reinforcement is made worse in some way. The Resurgence as Choice...

Smith S, Arroyo Antunez B, DeBartelo J, Sullivan W, Roane H, Craig A
J Exp Anal Behav . 2024 Aug; 122(2):195-206. PMID: 39086124
In treatments based on differential reinforcement of alternative behavior, applied researchers and clinicians often provide multiple, qualitatively different reinforcers (i.e., synthesized reinforcement) rather than a single reinforcer (i.e., isolated reinforcement)...

Craig A, Agnew C, Derrenbacker K, Antunez B, Sullivan W, Smith S, et al.
J Exp Anal Behav . 2024 Mar; 121(3):314-326. PMID: 38499477
Resurgence refers to the relapse of a target behavior following the worsening of a source of alternative reinforcement that was made available during response elimination. Most laboratory analyses of resurgence...

Rohacek A, Baxter E, Sullivan W, Roane H, Antshel K
J Autism Dev Disord . 2022 Apr; 53(8):2964-2974. PMID: 35488976
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit challenging behaviors. Existing behavioral parent trainings (BPT) address ASD symptomology, but are lengthy and associated with significant attrition. In the current pilot...

Brown K, Greer B, Craig A, Sullivan W, Fisher W, Roane H
J Exp Anal Behav . 2020 Mar; 113(2):449-467. PMID: 32133673
In the clinic, differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) often involves programming extinction for destructive behavior while reinforcing an alternative form of communication (e.g., a functional communication response); however, implementing...

Owen T, Fisher W, Akers J, Sullivan W, Falcomata T, Greer B, et al.
J Appl Behav Anal . 2020 Jan; 53(3):1494-1513. PMID: 31957868
Functional analyses sometimes do not identify momentary fluctuations in the function of destructive behavior (Bowman, Fisher, Thompson, & Piazza, 1997). In such cases, individuals may mand for the reinforcer that...

Craig A, Sullivan W, Browning K, DeRosa N, Roane H
J Exp Anal Behav . 2019 Dec; 113(1):141-152. PMID: 31835279
Previous work from our laboratory showed that intermittently re-exposing rats to reinforcement for lever pressing in a training (A) context, while eliminating lever pressing in a second (B) context, increased...

Craig A, Sullivan W, Roane H
J Exp Anal Behav . 2019 Oct; 112(2):210-223. PMID: 31589339
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...

Roane H, Kadey H, Sullivan W
J Appl Behav Anal . 2019 Jun; 52(4):1107-1112. PMID: 31236942
The extant literature on facilitated communication suggests facilitator control rather than independent communication. We used a novel assessment to evaluate a participant's correct identification of words produced during facilitated communication...

Sullivan W, Saini V, DeRosa N, Craig A, Ringdahl J, Roane H
J Appl Behav Anal . 2019 Jun; 53(1):249-264. PMID: 31219177
Resurgence occurs when a previously extinguished behavior reemerges once a more recently reinforced behavior is placed on extinction. Previous research has suggested that nontargeted responses within the same response class...
