ARTICLE IS ATTACHED

In this discussion, you will choose one eating disorder and analyze the treatment options available for that disorder as well as the rationale for their use based on the current understanding of the biological aspects of these conditions. Chapters 9 and 10 in your text analyze topics on neurotransmitters, receptors, and neurotransmitter systems, their role in feeding behaviors and satiety, and the impact of the pathology of selected eating disorders. The “Psychological Treatment of Eating Disorders (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.”, article and the Nutrition and Eating Disorders video expand upon these topics to assist your integration of these concepts as applied to neuropsychological function and dysfunction. Include information on brain structures, nervous system pathways, neurotransmitters/receptors, and psychological, genetic, familial, lifestyle, and environmental factors when analyzing the etiologic theories. Additional emphasis should be placed on relating the proposed etiologic mechanism(s) of the disorder and the recommended treatment(s), as well as providing rationale(s) for treatment success or failure.  Include treatments that are based on psychological, medical, pharmacologic (drug), and other available interventions.

You must use a minimum of one peer-reviewed source that was published within the last five years, documented in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.  Your post should be a minimum of 250 words. You may cite and reference your textbook, required reading and/or multimedia, but these will not fulfill the source requirement.

Discussion post- neuroimaging

/in /by

Discussion Post-One to two paragraphs

Prior to the late twentieth century, neuropsychological assessment was the main tool available to identify the location of brain damage (localization). Today, since imaging techniques are available to provide localization, what role do neuropsychologists play in the research, assessment, and treatment of children and adolescents? Additionally, discuss how the various neuroimaging techniques are important for children with mental disorders and how imaging is used in conjunction with neuropsychological assessment. Provide examples to support your thinking. When responding to your peers, consider how your career choice relates to examples posted by your peers.

    Issues Behind Addictive Drug Use

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the required chapters from the text and review the required articles for this week. Humans have engaged in psychoactive drug use, sometimes in formal (ceremonial) settings and sometimes recreationally, since before recorded history. It has only been in the last century or so that abuse and addiction have become large-scale problems. Using the literature and your own insights into these issues, formulate an argument as to why the problem has reached its current scale.  In your discussion, evaluate the employment of psychoactive drugs from the aspects of a risk-benefits analysis and ethical considerations such as the risk of addiction versus the cost of punitive action. Also explain purely pharmacological issues such as pharmacokinetics and routes of drug administration and dose. If needed, include factors such as supply, cultural attitudes to drug use, and the context of drug use.

Guided Response:  Review several of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in this discussion. Evaluate and describe the quality of your colleague’s argument. How did he or she use the literature to support the statements made? Do you agree with the argument? Why, or why not? What insights did your colleague include which you had not considered? What might you suggest your colleague consider which was not included? Please use your research to support your assertions. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.

Briefly compare and discuss at least two theories of intelligence and the contemporary assessment measures related to those theories.

1). Thurstone’s Primary Mental Abilities theory purposes that, researches can pinpoint specific group factors and define those factors specifically. Thurstone listed the follow factors of intelligence. 1. Verbal Comprehension: This factor can include reading and verbal equivalences. 2. Word Fluency: Measures the speed a person can name words in a given category, for example, tools that start with the letter R. 3. Numbers: The speed and accuracy of math problems. 4. Space: visualization and recognition of 3 dimensional shapes and how they would appear if flipped or rotated. 5. Associative Memory: A person’s skill in wrote memory. 6. Perceptual Speed: Recognizing similarities or difference in visual facts. 7. Inductive Reasoning: The finding of patterns in number series are a good example of this measure. Thurstone’s theory of intelligence is still in use today to investigate adult intelligence as we age.

2. Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Theory is a broad measure of factors split into three main parts, stratum I, II, and III. This theory purposes up to 70 different abilities that can be measured into intelligence testing. Some of these are broad, but some of these factors are quite narrow in scope.

The main difference between theses is that, Thurstone’s theory is broken up into more general categories, were as, CHC is comprised of multiple broad and narrow categories, as they comprise a more comprehensive list. (Gregory, 2014).

Analyze challenges related to assessing individuals in your assigned age group and describe any special ethical and sociocultural issues which must be considered. Summarize the implications of labelling and mislabeling individuals in your assigned age group as a result of testing and assessment.

Aging is difficult at times and can leave those who are 60 plus years old feeling like they are no longer valued. One area that is seen as a stereotype is the view many have on the elderly and intelligence. It is true that many lay people assume as we age, we decline sharply in the area of intelligence, but this is not entirely true. For example, more resent studies have shown fluid intelligence may decline, but crystallized intelligence is steady or even rises as we age. So we can imagine working with those who are 60 plus years of age, in the field of testing and assessment. That we should be mindful of the stereotypes that that generation faces in the area of being judged by others as less intelligent and less useful than those that are younger. Labeling the elderly with the stereotype of not being useful or intelligent, can lend to those who are 60 plus in age from getting jobs, that they are well suited and qualified for. (Gregory, 2014).

Analyze and provide evidence from validation studies supporting and opposing the use of specific instruments with your assigned population.

Longitude testing on intelligence and aging has shown that some assessment instruments, such as test that require speed tests like Word fluency and test that involve timed mathematical problem solving, that look to speed for a more positive result. (Gregory, 2014).

Present the pros and cons of individual versus group assessment of ability.

Group testing are usually standardized testing, that is given to a general populace of students or individuals to measure performance and aptitude in scholastic knowledge. These tests do not take into account any cultural, environmental, social economic issues, or an individual’s overall intelligence based on other factors, other than scholastic knowledge. Such testing is not bad, especially when achievement needs to be generally measured across student domains. Individual assessments testing can be more toned for that person’s age and cultural realities. (Gregory, 2014).

Proposal study and budget sections

/in /by

This week you will write the Proposed Study and Budget sections of your Grant Proposal. The Proposed Study section will resemble a typical methods section like the one you would write in an empirical paper (except that the data have not yet been collected). In this section you will describe the study that you are proposing to conduct to test your hypothesis. 

You will also write the Budget Justification section and the Budget for your grant proposal. The Budget Justification section will contain a description of your proposed budget including how grant funds will be used and justifying costs. Proposed costs must be reasonable, necessary and allocable to carry out the project’s goals and objectives. 

The Budget, which will be Appendix A of your grant proposal, will follow the format of the budget in the Sample Grant Proposal Template (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Appendix A . There is also a Budget Calculation spreadsheet (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. that you can use to determine the direct and indirect costs for your proposed study.
