What is ABA?

The seven dimensions of ABA identified in your text and the Baer, Wolf, and Risley article, are the guiding principles for the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. As a developing professional, it is important to understand the dimensions because each one is relevant to the work of a behavior analyst.

For this assignment, refer to the following articles assigned in the study for this unit:

  • Krentz, Miltenberger, and Valbuena’s “Using Token Reinforcement to Increase Walking for Adults With Intellectual Disabilities.”
  • Marsic, Berman, Barry, and McCloskey’s “The Relationship Between Intentional Self-Injurious Behavior and the Loudness Dependence of Auditory Evoked Potential in Research Volunteers.”

Then complete the following:

  • Identify which of the articles is behavior analytic and which is not, and provide an explanation for your choice.
    • Be sure to identify which of the seven dimensions of ABA are present in the behavior analytic article.
    • Analyze why the other article is not behavior analytic. How do you know the seven dimensions are not present?

For this discussion post, use these headings to organize your work:

Search Strategy Explain your search strategy by identifying search terms and by describing your search strategy. Specify the databases you plan to search, such as EBSCO HOST and Academic Search Premier, and tools like Capella Summon or Google Scholar. We recommend using the Capella library Database Research Log (linked in Resources) to keep track of databases searched and the keywords used.

 

Literature Search Question (LSQ) Present your topic in the form of a question that will guide your search of the literature. Be sure, as you identify your topic, to identify the context that the population inhabits. Consider identifying gender, developmental stage, age range, region, diagnoses or health status, intervention or therapy, assessment tools, racial identity, ethnic identity, class, history and other specifics associated with the questions that you wish to explore.

 

Scope and Number of Sources: Identifying the appropriate scope of the LSQ is important; developing a good LSQ will probably require a minimum of eight resources. Identify at least six sources as you start this first step good sources will be key to developing the foundation of the proposed study. Remember that you are only proposing to do new and original research. You will not collect data. Post your topic and description of your LSQ in a Word document. In addition, please copy and paste the document content into the message box for your post submission. Do not be concerned if Word formatting is not preserved.

Explain how you might revise the performance appraisal process for Greenway Inc. to make it more effective and standardized. Justify your recommendations with the literature.

Organizations that develop, implement, monitor, and update performance appraisal systems need to make sure that the selection process considers all intended and projected uses (Kleiman & Simmering, 2011). These considerations include providing for the validity, reliability, utility, and legality of the process as it is employed in each application. Further, industry type, company size, occupation, and job level are factors that shape appraisal procedures and reporting. It is important for organizations to periodically review their performance measurement systems to ensure appraisals continue to meet acceptable standards and address company requirements.

For this Assignment, review the media for this week and consider the following scenario: Greenway Inc. has asked you to review its performance appraisals and uses. Consider the recommendations you might provide to management, and think about suggestions that you might give concerning appropriately handling and using the results of those performance appraisals. Then, consider how you might revise the performance appraisal process for Greenway Inc. to make it more effective and standardized.

You have learned many of the basic elements of a chemical dependency center in today’s world. Now it is time to write a report that will be used in a final proposal for a new treatment center. Consider what you have already learned, and continue your research about addiction and recovery theories, services, and continuum of care to design the most effective treatment center possible. Based on current issues that you have learned about, consider the changes you believe could be made to improve this evolving system.

Start with some of the following questions:

  • What do you think the future best practices might look like?
  • How might you care for the professionals in a field while they are caring for their clients?
  • What kind of professional development will the staff need to make this center a success? How might this improve services to those in need?

Given what you know and what your group discovered and discussed about modern treatment facilities, use your imagination to come up with a futuristic model of an addiction and recovery services center. Be sure to address the following information in a proposal of 4–5 pages:

Objective

  • Type of facility
  • Need for the facility
  • Purpose of the facility
  • Current issues or challenges the facility is designed to address
  • Mission statement of the facility
  • Philosophy or theories practiced within the facility

Logistics

  • Populations to be served by the facility
  • Treatments used in the facility
  • Physical appearance of the facility
  • Type of staff
  • Professional development that will be available to staff
  • Additional important details

4-5 pages
