Roane, Henry S.; Kadey, Heather J.; Sullivan, William E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
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 sessions. The participant was unable to recognize common words that she was being facilitated to…

Saini, Valdeep; Sullivan, William E.; Baxter, Emily L.; DeRosa, Nicole M.; Roane, Henry S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Functional communication training (FCT) is one of the most commonly prescribed interventions for the treatment of severe destructive behavior exhibited by individuals with intellectual disabilities. Although highly effective, FCT has been shown to fail in some cases when treatment is introduced into the child's typical environment. Basic and…

Betz, Alison M.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Roane, Henry S.; Mintz, Joslyn C.; Owen, Todd M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
One limitation of functional communication training (FCT) is that individuals may request reinforcement via the functional communication response (FCR) at exceedingly high rates. Multiple schedules with alternating periods of reinforcement and extinction of the FCR combined with gradually lengthening the extinction-component interval can…

Kadey, Heather J.; Roane, Henry S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Placing infants in a prone position for "tummy time" often is recommended to ensure appropriate infant development and to combat the effects associated with infants spending extended periods of time in a supine position. However, tummy time may be associated with inappropriate infant behavior such as crying and noncompliance. We provided…

Ing, Anna D.; Roane, Henry S.; Veenstra, Rebecca A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Coprophagia, the ingestion of fecal matter, occurs among some individuals with developmental disabilities and is associated with a variety of health risks (e.g., diarrhea, intestinal parasites, blood-borne pathogens; Parry-Jones & Parry-Jones, 1992). Studies that have evaluated operant-based treatments of coprophagia have been limited by a lack of…

Bouxsein, Kelly J.; Roane, Henry S.; Harper, Tara – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
Positive and negative reinforcement are effective for treating escape-maintained destructive behavior. The current study evaluated the separate and combined effects of these contingencies to increase task compliance. Results showed that a combination of positive and negative reinforcement was most effective for increasing compliance. (Contains 1…

Falcomata, Terry S.; Roane, Henry S.; Feeney, Brian J.; Stephenson, Kasey M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
We evaluated a treatment for elopement maintained by access to stereotypic door play. First, we conducted a functional analysis of elopement that produced undifferentiated results. Next, we conducted an assessment in which we evaluated the relation between elopement and door play. Results suggested a functional relation between the 2 behaviors…

Shillingsburg, M. Alice; Kelley, Michael E.; Roane, Henry S.; Kisamore, April; Brown, Melissa R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
Topographically similar verbal responses may be functionally independent forms of operant behavior. For example, saying yes or no may have different functions based on the environmental conditions in effect. The present study extends previous research on both the assessment and acquisition of yes and no responses across contexts in children with…

Grow, Laura L.; Kelley, Michael E.; Roane, Henry S.; Shillingsburg, M. Alice – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2008
Functional communication training (FCT; Carr & Durand, 1985) is a commonly used differential reinforcement procedure for replacing problem behavior with socially acceptable alternative responses. Most studies in the FCT literature consist of demonstrations of the maintenance of responding when various treatment components (e.g., extinction,…

Roane, Henry S.; Kelley, Michael E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2008
In the current investigation, a functional analysis suggested that positive reinforcement in the form of physical contact maintained the self-injurious behavior of a girl with developmental and physical disabilities. We used the information obtained from the functional analysis to develop a treatment for noncompliance with walking in which a…

Roane, Henry S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2008
Examination of responding under various schedule arrangements is a core component of many analyses of operant behavior. Much of the pioneering work in applied behavior analysis was bred from laboratory research involving the exposure of nonhuman subjects to a variety of schedule arrangements. Hodos (1961) described a schedule arrangement in which…

Glover, Ashley C.; Roane, Henry S.; Kadey, Heather J.; Grow, Laura L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2008
Progressive-ratio (PR) schedules were used to identify the break point (i.e., the last schedule value completed) for 2 reinforcers under single and concurrent schedules. After the respective break points were established, the same reinforcers were presented under concurrent fixed-ratio (FR) schedules that were yoked to the break points obtained…

Roane, Henry S.; Falcomata, Terry S.; Fisher, Wayne W. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2007
Within the context of behavioral economics, the ratio of response requirements to reinforcer magnitude is called "unit price." In this investigation, we yoked increases in reinforcer magnitude with increases in intervals of differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) to thin DRO intervals to a terminal value. (Contains 1 figure.)

Powers, Katherine V.; Roane, Henry S.; Kelley, Michael E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2007
The current investigation assessed the effectiveness of protective equipment, specifically arm splints, in reducing the occurrence of severe self-injurious behavior (SIB). Although the protective equipment reduced rates of SIB to near-zero levels, self-restraint subsequently emerged. In an attempt to reduce self-restraint while maintaining…

Roane, Henry S.; Call, Nathan A.; Falcomata, Terry S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2005
In the current investigation, we evaluated the effects of open and closed economies on the adaptive behavior of 2 individuals with developmental disabilities. Across both types of economy, progressive-ratio (PR) schedules were used in which the number of responses required to obtain reinforcement increased as the session progressed. In…
