It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I write to you today to express my intentions towards my future endeavors once graduating from your humble establishment with a degree in applied behavioral analysis. My intentions are to graduate from Saint Joseph 's University with a degree in applied behavioral analysis, then to proceed onto the next step in my career as a behavior specialist councilor, where I can help families through creating concrete goals and plans and models to measure these goals, as well as to ensure that parents are supplied with the resources required and an efficient team to help them.
One of the problems with strict behavioral theory is that it very much ignores the ‘human variable’. When we reduce things strictly to stimulus and response, we can easily forget that there are human feelings, thoughts, and cognitions that are involved in the expression of a behavior as well. In the case of Roger a behaviorist will take everything at face value. If Roger comes in and says he is having trouble studying, it is very likely that the behaviorist will agree with him based on the observable evidence and come up with a reinforcement contingency of some sort to correct his ‘problem’.
This paper will document the clinical work with a 32-year-old male client named Jason who is currently suffering with clinical depression, anxiety, physical health issues, and social isolation. Jason’s concerns are examined using the behavior theory and cognitive behavioral theory. Furthermore, three evidence based treatments are discussed and applied to Jason. Lastly, a qualitative and qualitative measure is presented to evaluated the chosen intervention.
Students will display inappropriate behaviors for many different reasons. In this case study, we are only given a snap shot of the behaviors, as well as, probable functions of the behavior. Sven engages in maladaptive behavior when he is expected to be attending to tasks. There could be several reasons for his maladaptive behaviors, including, but not limited to sensory disorder, feeling of not being in control of tasks, task demand too high or attention seeking. Regardless, it seems as though Sven wanted to escape or avoid the behavior, completing the assignment. The behavior principal that Sven’s case illustrates is antecedent control, or changing the task or environment in order to produce desired behavior (Alberto & Troutman, 2013). The observer noticed that Sven reacted negatively when presented with assignments or tasks; therefore, changing the antecedent from giving Sven a specific assignment or task, to letting him choose between eight task options that would yield the same instructional objective, which decreased his maladaptive behaviors and increasing acceptable behaviors (engaging in academic tasks).
There a several methods within ABA that guide professionals in helping their clients acquire new skills, overcome personal conflicts and behaviors. Both desirable and undesirable behaviors can be altered with different techniques under ABA. For the cases of Brenda and Mrs. Riley I will answer questions related to Behavior chaining and the use of the token economy.
People are very revealing in character, sometimes intentionally, however most of the time unintentionally. Everything about a person reveals some aspect of their character, their preference; their actions are just as much a part of them as their knowledge and skills. In management, specifically, someone who wants to be a manager that leads, to recognize the differences of his or her employees. Each person is unique; these differences range from appearance to skill. Awareness of these differences allows a company or organization to use them to better their business.
One behavior was noted as demanding and to the point where as another behavior was noted as calm and patient. The team agreed that initially this could pose a problem, but viewing this from a different perspective, opposing behaviors could actually work well together. The behavior style that is noted for their calm and patient attributes would possibly counteract the more aggressive behavior, thus reaching an acceptable balance. The team members agreed that completing the self-assessment and receiving the evaluation was well worth the time invested. Each member of the team stated that after reviewing the Extended DISC workbook, they were confident as to which behavior they could identify with, (Extended DISC, 2010). The evaluation report provided an element of surprise, noting different results than what was initially predetermined. The team discussed the validity of the self-assessment and came to the conclusion that it was fairly accurate in depicting each person’s behavior. The team discussed the possibility of identifying other behaviors based on the column listed in the workbook titled “How to Identify”,
... behaviors. It is important not focus on the past so I will encourage the student to bring their homework with them in the future. I will instead focus on the positive goals that I have set with the student. This will encourage future positive behavior.
Jerry is a 19 year old African-American male college student who has developed a phobia with heights. When he tries to walk across a bridge, for example, he begins to panic, which results in him backing away and avoiding going across at all. It has interfered with his life to the point that he avoids taking classes that are on the upper floors of buildings, and chooses to drive to school from over an hour away in order to avoid staying in a dorm room, since the only ones that were available were on the fifth floor and above. He has had fears of heights ever since he was 10, after he had a traumatic experience when he was trapped on a rollercoaster when it stalled for several hours while he was on it, forcing him to be caught looking down at
Sample group met the criteria of externalizing non-compliance, negative and or violent behavior with peers; internalizing problems including anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideations without suicide attempts; significant academic difficulties and initiation of drug and or alcohol use. Study did not include adolescents who presented with suicide ideation with attempts or those who exhibited psychotic behaviors. This study utilized parent reporting of externalizing and internalizing behavior clinical range on Revised Behavior Problem Checklist (RBPC) before engaging participants in treatment.
A DISCUSSION ON HOW LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOUR MAY AFFECT THE MOTIVATION OF INDIVIDUALS WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION.
Today, most contemporary organizations utilize major human behavior theories to be competitive amongst other organizations. However, it is important to discuss not only the theories themselves, but it is imperative to understand the associated communication implications in regards to each theory. Altogether, human behavior theories focus on the how individuals are influenced, what inspires them, and how that inspiration and motivation ultimately influences the organization. Thus, when it comes to human behavior theories, there are several ideas that seek to explain and rationalize human behavior in regards to organizations.
Behavior Modification and it Application to a Variety of Behaviors Within in an Educational Setting
“We are addicted to our thoughts. We cannot change anything if we cannot change our thinking.” ― Santosh Kalwar, Quote Me Everyday. I recently found this quote online and thought it was a fitting example of my addictive behavior modification experience in CSL 466. Initially, I thought addiction is that can be changed over time with willpower, determination and help from others. However, what I’ve learned through my experience in CSL 466, is that you can try as hard as you want but some addictions never quite go away.
Behavior and social learning are two theories that are inherently intertwined. Behavior to some extent is taught for social reasons, and social learning can very much shape and create behaviors. While behavior is something intentionally taught, social learning can teach and reinforce many unintentional behaviors, such as dishonesty or aggression. In order to adequately discuss these two interrelated topics, theory exploration is in order.
