Describe the expected outcome if the behavior intervention plan was implemented and followed. 

/in /by

This cumulative assignment allows you to consider everything you have learned over the past 5 weeks and attempt to change a behavior of your own. This overall process is similar to what a board-certified behavior analyst would complete with a new client.

Refer to the approved behavior you would like to change based on your submission to your instructor in Week 2.

Track baseline data over a 3-day period using the Baseline Data Worksheet.

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper that outlines an intervention plan for changing that behavior, and ensure you:

  • Describe the target behavior.
  • Outline the dimensions of measurement/baseline measurement.
  • Describe the function of the baseline behavior.
  • Outline the goals of the behavioral change.
  • Propose a behavior intervention plan based on goals.
  • Provide a minimum of 2 antecedent changes.
  • Provide 4 to 5 consequence modifications.
  • Choose consequences based on at least 4 of the following:
  • Positive reinforcement
  • Negative reinforcement
  • Negative punishment
  • Positive punishment
  • Extinction
  • Describe any potential barriers to treatment as well as how you would overcome these barriers.
  • Describe the expected outcome if the behavior intervention plan was implemented and followed.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

****TOPIC*** please write this paper based on the information below**

***** Please Fill out the worksheet with proper information****

I Personally struggle with getting enough rest on a daily basis, it gets bad enough where I feel myself dozing off during a movie or doing regular activities. For this project I would like to try improving my sleep patterns every night for to help function better and for health reasons, in order to do so I will measure how many hours I sleep at night using an app provided with my phone. Currently I get about 4 to 5 hours of sleep each night which is considered to be my variable interval and my goal is to get to at least 8 hours  of sleep every night. I would start off by setting a specific bedtime 10pm to get a fixed schedule try going to bed a half an hour earlier each night to work my way up to 8 hours for the first 3 to 4days, I would record data collected by writing down my bed time and awake time. My hopes are to achieve more sleep, better brain function, less tiredness and boost my energy by getting more sleep.

Submit a 2-page paper in which you choose a theory of development from another discipline (refer to Erikson, Piaget, Freud etc.).

Assignment 1: Media and Sexism 

 

 

Many marketing efforts perpetuate the gender stereotypes that are steeped in our culture. Two examples at attempts to maintain these stereotypes through advertising are the Bic Critsal For Her and the Easy Bake Oven. These two conceivably innocuous items triggered a flood of articles, petitions, and videos, denouncing their perceived underlying messages.

The first controversy that erupted surrounded the Bic Cristal For Her pen. This pen was created and packaged specifically for women to use. Several groups lashed out at Bic, calling their attempt to target women with “lady pens” sexist and demeaning. Its detractors felt the campaign was degrading and fed into stereotypes by highlighting the thin design and the use of pastel colors. The negative press was overwhelming, although the pens have remained on the market.

 

Consumers also targeted those responsible for marketing the Easy Bake Oven by sending a petition asking its parent company Hasbro to make the ovens in colors other than pink and purple. Thousands of individuals signed the petition asking for alternative oven colors after a teenage girl from New Jersey was angered that her younger brother would have no other option but to use an oven in the colors that are considered stereotypically female. It was argued that the colors supported the stereotypical view that only young girls would want to bake. The signers of the petition felt that young boys who might want to use the toy would be more likely to practice their baking skills if the color of the oven was gender neutral.

Consider these two stories and think about your own reactions to the responses to the advertising and merchandising of these items.

 

To prepare: review the attached media Tough Guise Transcript.

Submit a 2-page paper. Identify the elements of sexism mentioned in the video. Provide specific examples of how media perpetuates sexist attitudes in our society.  Please use 2-3 references.

Assignment 2: Analysis of Development Theories

 

Competent social workers are able to construct a strong foundation upon which to build skills by understanding theories from a variety of disciplines. The disciplines of psychology, education, and sociology offer a number of development theories that can easily be applied to the practice of social work. For this Assignment, consider how a theory from another discipline may shed light on social work practice with children and adolescents.

 

1. Submit a 2-page paper in which you choose a theory of development from another discipline (refer to Erikson, Piaget, Freud etc.).

 

2.     IIn your analysis, be sure to address how the theory does or does not relate to social work practice.

 

3.     Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer. Please use 2-3 references

Please review attached essay on the biological basis of Bell’s palsy.
here is the original assignment requirements please ensure it meets them please.

The purpose of this assignment is to complete a paper that will:

  1. Identify the biological basis of a disease or disorder of the nervous system (This could be at the level of neurotransmitters, hormones, cells, brain structures or another aspect of the nervous system.)
  2. Summarize current research to better understand the role of the nervous system in the disease/disorder

The final paper should showcase your best work in synthesizing and applying information about the biological basis of behavior, as well as your writing skills. An example paper from a UMGC student is available to provide a strong example of this assignment (see the attachment below). 

Please complete the following this week:

  1. After re-reading your research summaries and feedback, write an introduction to your final paper that will introduce your reader to research the topic, and preview the types of research summaries you will include. You may also want to use additional sources to cite important statistics about the disease/disorder or describe important symptoms or treatments that may be relevant.
  2. Revise your research summaries by re-reading to correct any confusing sections, typos, mistakes or omissions. Integrate any feedback you received. Add transition sentences to guide your reader through the summaries.
  3. Write a conclusion that summarize the main points of your paper. Then, interpret the research you read as a whole. Possible things to consider in your conclusion: What main themes emerged? What differences/discrepancies/controversies emerged? What gaps still exist in the research (what is still unknown about the biological basis)? What new discoveries have been made?
  4. After you have completed your paper, write an abstract. The abstract should be a mini-preview of the upcoming paper. A basic format for an abstract could include a sentence (or two) introducing the topic, a sentence summarizing the kinds of research the reader will encounter in your paper, and a sentence (or two) about the conclusion of the paper. (You’ll want to have your paper fairly complete before writing your abstract. Once the paper is complete or close to complete, it will be a lot easier to pull out these key pieces of information and assemble the abstract.)
  5. Use APA format for your writing. This assignment should be approximately 6 pages long (not including a cover page and references page) in APA format (12 point font, double-spaced, 1″ margins). Additional information about APA format is available HERE. An MSWord document that is pre-formatted to APA format is available for you to use (see the attachment below).  Please use this template to help ensure that most elements of APA format will be already included in your assignment, making it a lot easier to produce a high-quality, professionally formatted assignment. 🙂

1. What is a confounding variable and why do researchers try to eliminate confounding variables? Provide two examples of confounding variables.
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of posttest only design and pretest-posttest design 3. What is meant by sensitivity of a dependent variable? 4. What are the differences between an independent groups design and a repeated measures design? 5. How does an experimenter’s expectations and participant expectations affect outcomes? 6. Provide an example of a factorial design. What are the key features of a factorial design? What are the advantages of a factorial design? 7. Describe at least four different dependent variables. 8. What are some ways researchers can manipulate independent variables? 9. What is the difference between main effects and interactions?
How do moderator variables impact results? Provide an example. 10. A researcher is interested in studying the effects of story endings on preference ratings. He randomly assigns participants into two groups: predictable ending or surprise ending. He instructs them to read the story and provide preference ratings. The experimenter’s variation of story endings is a __Straightforward____ (straightforward or staged) manipulation. 11. A researcher was interested in investigating the vocabulary skills of 6th graders in a program for gifted students. She gave a group of participants a test of vocabulary that was aimed at the 7th-grade level. She quickly discovered that there was limited variability in the scores because nearly all the students answered 90% or more of the questions correctly. This outcome is called a _Ceiling___ effect
