  • attachmentpsy450r5_grading_guide_introduction.docIn this chapter we explore some of the most important issues in psychology. We learn what we know about psychology from our research and it is critical that students of psychology understand the components of a research study as well as the ethical issues involved in conducting research.Review this section in the textbook. More information on research methods can be found in this chapter.

    Recognize that all elements of a research study and design are important. However, for this discussion, tell us what you think are the three most critical issues for a researcher to consider. Also include what you see as particular problems in researching psychological disorders.

    This program will help you review basic research issues

 How is your research question relevant to your passions and interests in psychology and to your purpose? It is relevant because I will be working with children experiencing this behavior.

/in /by

Now that you have chosen your research question (Is socially mediated reinforcement associated with children and compulsive eating behavior.) spend some time sharing your research question and your experiences using the library databases.

Instructions

(Write a discussion post elaborating on these questions and answers).

1.  What topic and research question did you pursue? Autism in children and compulsive eating disorder.

 

2.  How is your research question relevant to your passions and interests in psychology and to your purpose? It is relevant because I will be working with children experiencing this behavior.

3.  Reflecting on the Library Research Knowledge Assessment, what skill areas were recommended for improvement and what skill areas did you do well on?

4.  What strategies did you use to locate relevant articles? Made a research plan, focused on the psychology database, specified the most relevant key words for my search.

5.  Did you find Boolean commands (for example, AND, OR) confusing? What tips would you give others for learning these commands? Used some Boolean commands to optimize my research topic and connect information. I would recommend studying the Boolean commands or have a Table to remind you of how to use them accurately.

6.  What insights did you gather about your research question? This research question has been studied due to the increase number of cases in autism over the years and it is something that would benefit many individuals like stakeholders in these children’s life’s.

7.  What conclusions did you come to about the role of research in your future career vision? There have been many studies done in my future career that are backed up by evidence based practices and insurance companies. Applied Behavior Analysis works. However, it is still a fairly new practice and there are always ways to improve patient outcomes by fathering research.

discussion 1

Language and Cognitive Processes Questions

Review the Language Acquisition in Early Childhood Education interactive game, which focuses on language developmental stages and cognitive processes.  Write three questions you can ask your classmates that would help to evaluate their knowledge of the developmental milestones and brain development stages, and how they influence on language development and acquisition.  These questions should be focused on the main concepts in Chapters 5 and 6.  You can see several examples of types of questions in the interactive Jeopardy game.  The solutions to your questions should be able to be located within Chapters 5 or 6 in the course textbook.  Post your three questions, but do not include the solutions to these in your original post.
discussion 2

We have learned in Chapters 5 and 6 that we are able to understand children’s language development stages by observing their processes and interactions. Preview the three videos listed below from Chapter 6 of your text, which are focused on children’s language interactions. The children shown are in various stages of language development.   Choose one of the three videos to conduct an observation and identify the child’s language development stage.

  • Precursors to Language, retrieved from Section 6.1 of your text.
  • Babbling, retrieved from Section 6.2 of your text.
  • Assessing Cognitive and Language Development, retrieved from the Conclusion section in Chapter 6 of your text.

Write your observations of the child, which should support your conclusion of developmental stage. Support your responses with the evidence from the textbook.

The subject line of your discussion should be the title of the video that you watched. Be sure to include a minimum of a 250-word response using your observations and a minimum of one source to support your claims. Your reference(s) should appear at the end of your discussion and be formatted according to APA.

Create a mock forensic assessment report based on a patient in a selected vignette. Provide your diagnostic impressions based on the DSM criteria.

 

For this assignment you are to:

  • Improve your interview and referral questions for the case vignette you selected in M1 Assignment 3.
  • Here is the vignette:
  • The following are factors to consider in psychological testing: the validity of the information, its reliability and its objectivity. The behavioral observations made are that the client is abnormally cooperative and gives information freely an unlikely characteristic of drunkards. The forensic assessment options available are oral testing as well as carrying out laboratory tests for blood samples. To recognize the client’s deception behavior I would observe the clients facial expressions and noticing contradicting statements while answering some questions during oral assessment (Wrightsman, 2001).In this case, Mr. P was arrested for driving under influence of alcohol he discloses that his family has had a drinking history not to mention that some other factors as stress drove him to drinking. His long sentence at court threatens him with losing his job and he too believes that he is a victim of police mannerisms of arrest in the said town. The reason for referral was that Mr. P proved to have mental problem caused by stress. Forensic assessment is necessary because there was need to prove to the client that the alcohol blow was actually correct and did not actually make a mistake in convicting the client with driving under influence (American College of Forensic Psychology. (1983).

    My impression of the client was that he seems to have resigned himself to alcohol due to his preceding circumstances: stress and history of drinking in his family. My role as a professional is that of establishing whether the client had mental problem before, which could actually make him be confined in a correction facility. The hypothesis I formed will assist me in building testing parameters and standards for my case (Wrightsman, 2001).

    I will be using the Substance abuse evaluation with Mr. P. A Substance Abuse evaluation will include Integrated Screening and Assessment. The Integrated screening will occur for both of Mr. P’s disorders and it will be a brief process that will occur when he starts services with me. This will indicate whether Mr. P does indeed have a substance abuse disorder and at least one co-occurring mental disorder. If he screens positive for co-occurring disorders, then he will receive an in depth assessment. This integrated assessment will mean that Mr. P has both a substance abuse disorder as well as a mental disorder and it will be assessed in context of each other. This will consist of getting information and engaging in the process with Mr. P that will enable me to either rule out or establish the presence of or absence of a co-occurring disorder and to determine if Mr. P is ready for change. The Integrated assessment will help in identifying the strengths as well as the problem areas that could affect his treatment as well as a successful recovery.

    An in depth assessment will give me the information of Mr. P to create a treatment plan and will be helpful in establishing symptoms, and a baseline of signs as well as behaviors that will be used to monitor his progress over a period of time in order to determine if he has co-occurring disorders. If Mr. P shows positive after the screening for co-occurring disorders the referral will be sent to the court.
