Read Case Study 1: William’s aggressive behavior

Ms. Tooley contacts you, a behavior analyst, to assist her with a child in her classroom named William. William is a healthy 6-year-old boy who has been terrorizing his classmates. The problem has been occurring since the beginning of the school year. William pushes, kicks, hits or bites other children in the class. This has often happened during recess time. Ms.Tooley first addressed the issue by scolding William. That did not appear to reduce the behavior, so she then required him to visit the principal’s office whenever an episode of aggressive behavior occurred. These visits also had little effect in reducing the aggressive behaviors.

Write a 3-4 page paper addressing the following:

Part I

Define the target behavior in William’s case study by writing a 1–2 sentence target behavior definition using terms that can be observed and the appropriate behavior analytic language.

  • Discuss one reason why the teacher’s original methods of behavior management may have failed.
  • Describe how you would first assess William. Provide rationale for your choice of assessment.
  • Identify a hypothetical function to William’s target behavior.

Part II

Design an effective behavior modification program.

  • Use a combination approach treatment package (two or more behavior techniques from the relevant literature).
  • One of your interventions should be designed to increase William’s appropriate behavior.
  • One of your interventions should be designed to decrease William’s inappropriate behavior.

Provide rationale for selecting the combination approach, drawing upon behavior theory. Your rationale should include a description of the function of William’s behavior and how your intervention choices address that function.

Part III

Explain how you would evaluate the modification program.

Include the following in your explanation:

  • The type of data you are collecting
  • How often you are collecting data
  • Who is going to collect that data
  • The research design you are using
  • An explanation of why that research design was the best choice

Describe how you will know if your treatment was effective. Make sure to explain each step.

Explain how to program for generalization and maintenance of William’s behavior.

Read Case Study 2: Annie’s change to Language Acquisition

Annie is a 4-year-old child diagnosed with autism. She uses very little language. She has a few words in her vocabulary and is capable of using language. She currently uses gestures and challenging behavior to get her wants and needs met. For example, if she wants a drink, she will lead her mother to the refrigerator and jump up and down and cry until her mother correctly guesses what she wants. You have been called in to use Skinner’s Verbal Behavior approach to develop a language acquisition program for Annie.

Write a 3-4 page paper addressing the following:

Design a language acquisition program for Annie. Include the following in the program you design:

  • at least two types of verbal behavior
  • a description of each verbal behavior and why you chose to teach that behavior
  • which verbal behavior you would teach first and why

Develop a set of procedures to follow to teach each type of verbal behavior. This should include the antecedent and consequent controlling variables for each type of verbal behavior.

Describe how you will collect data on Annie’s verbal behavior.

Explain how you will evaluate your language acquisition program to know if your program is effective.

Describe how you will use Behavioral Skills Training to teach Annie’s mother how to implement your language acquisition program.

Amphetamine Use and Abuse, psychology assignment help

/in /by

Assignment 2: LASA I—Amphetamine Use and Abuse

Aaliyah continues to struggle with balancing her work hours and her schoolwork. She has been drinking coffee to help her stay awake, but it is no longer working. She has an exam coming up and needs to stay up to study.

Aaliyah decides to take an amphetamine to stay awake to study for the exam. She promises herself that she will only take it this one time for the exam. The drug allows her to stay awake and alert while she is studying for the exam. She also feels that she is learning the material better as a result of the amphetamine. When the grades are in, Aaliyah receives an A on her work.

As the semester continues, Aaliyah turns to amphetamines more and more often to help her stay awake to complete her schoolwork. Soon, Aaliyah finds that one pill no longer keeps her awake as long as she needs.

She starts taking more than one pill at a time. She knows that taking amphetamines so often is not good for her health, and she finds she experiences an increase in headaches when she takes them, but she continues to take them because they are helping her be successful in school and at work.

Based on the case study, prepare a paper that addresses the following:

  • Examine the change in amphetamine use and abuse in the U.S. from the 1950s to the present.
  • Explain to which schedule amphetamines belong and why they are on the Schedule of Controlled Substances.
  • Explain the effects Aaliyah might be experiencing as a result of her regular amphetamine use. Be sure to include:
    • Acute effects, chronic effects, and withdrawal
    • Effects on physiology (brain and body), behavior, mood, and toxicity
  • Give at least three indications from the case study suggesting there may be a problem with Aaliyah’s substance use. That is, describe at least three likely behaviors that Aaliyah is likely to exhibit if she is misusing amphetamines.

Determine whether Aaliyah has a substance use disorder. Include a discussion of DSM criteria. Use the template to help you make the assessment.

Write a 4-5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.doc.

By Wednesday, August 24, 2016, deliver your assignment to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

Albert, CEO of XYZ, Inc., desires to expand the company’s sales through exports to three (3) foreign subsidiaries. Albert knows that the target subsidiaries are located in countries that require transactions to be denominated in the local currencies. Albert has researched foreign currency risk and knows that there is accounting exposure in accounting statements, operating exposure in future cash flows, and transaction exposure in outstanding obligations. Albert does not understand how these risks apply to XYZ, Inc. under his proposal or if there are any mitigating risk strategies available. Albert requests you, the head of the Risk Management division, to prepare a report that he can present to the Board of Directors on the potential foreign currency risk if XYZ, Inc. expands sales into these markets. XYZ, Inc.’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and the subsidiaries would purchase the merchandise as inventory items.

Describe two (2) color paintings by different artists (selected from the list or sources in the Explore section below) that you believe represent the following quote by Kandinsky on the subject of color in art. Justify your response. From Concerning the Spiritual in Art: “If you let your eye stray over a palette of colors, you experience two things. In the first place you receive a purely physical effect, namely the eye itself is enchanted by the beauty and other qualities of color. […] These are physical sensations, limited in duration. They are superficial, too, and leave no lasting impression behind if the soul remains closed. And so we come to the second result of looking at colors: their psychological effect. They produce a correspondent spiritual vibration, and it is only as a step towards this spiritual vibration that the physical impression is of importance. … Generally speaking, color directly influences the soul.” – Wassily Kandinsky. Discuss these ideas for the use of color and its impact in our own times, such as its effect for advertising and sales, or its impact in the workplace and home.

degree

finding a major that is fascinating and

interesting,

the amount of time college will take away from

their family and friends,

the pressure from family and teachers to attend

Pick

at least one

concern above to address in your paper, but

do not address more than

two concerns

Tips:

Does the pressure to attend college represent the negative aspects of positive thinking as discussed by

Ehrenreich? Consider the reasons you attended college. What benefits does college offer outside of the

classroom? How do you balance college responsibilities and your relationships? How are you using university

services to your advantage? Consider services like the University Writing Center, the University Tutorial

Center, and the library. Does a college degree guarantee future financial success? Should students be strongly

encouraged to go to college even if they have doubts about why they are going to college? Why or why not? Is

college the only path to financial success?
