Review Powerpoint Chapter 4 Assignments/To Do: 1. Watch the following brief videos in preparation for the assignment this week: a. Bronfenbrenner’s Theory: b. Erikson’s Theory: c Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development Choose ONE of these three discussions below and reflect on the theory that explains it. Discuss the theory in light of the real-life situation it addresses (about a one page reflection). 1.How does each one of Bronfenbrenners four spheres (microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem) influence events at OLLU? How do you think the COVID-19 pandemic shaped (or continues to shape) the chronosystem for children and college students? 2 In what ways might a failure to resolve earlier crises (in Eriksons stages of psychosocial development) be manifested in an adolescent who is attempting to establish his or her identity? In other words, how would failure to develop trust (or autonomy, or initiative, or industry) hinder an adolescent in the identity versus role confusion stage of development? 3 In a discussion about stealing in a therapy session, some clients express the opinion that it is all right to steal if you dont get caught. How should a therapist respond? What does that tell the therapist about the client’s stage of moral development?

• At each checkpoint students will:
• Create an outline of the test content outline items that have been covered in the course.
• Provide 1 original visual aid to enhance understanding of a complex topic (e.g., chart, diagram, table, illustration, mnemonic). These must be created by the student and may not be taken from the Internet.
• Write 5 original multiple-choice questions that include the correct answers and rationale for the correct answer.
• Submit 2 references to review to enhance understanding of complex material taken from course materials.
• A sufficient outline:
• Covers all assigned items for this checkpoint from the BACB Test Content Outline.
• Is organized clearly (e.g., bullet points, headers, or hierarchy showing main concepts and subtopics).
• Includes key definitions, examples, or applications drawn from course materials (textbook, lectures, or assigned readings).
• Avoids copying directly from external sources or overly broad summaries – focus on your own synthesis of the material.
• A sufficient multiple-choice section:
• Includes five (5) original questions related to assigned BACB Test Content topics.
• Each question has five answer options (A-E) with one clearly identified correct answer.

• Sufficient references:
• Include two references in correct APA format (7th edition).
• Are relevant to the assigned BACB content areas for this checkpoint.
• Come directly from course materials (e.g., assigned readings, textbook chapters, or instructor-provided sources).

For assistance accessing the BDS modules on the BDS: Behavior Development Solutions Links to an external site. website, please review the Week 1 Prepare: BDS Modules activity in this course. Assigned BDS Modules The Task List B modules contain more modules than other task list areas and you have two weeks to complete this section. You will be graded based on the scores you achieve on each assigned module within one task list area. Please review the scoring rubric for more detail.

Topic:

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Techniques

o Prompt: Analyze the key techniques used in ABA, such as reinforcement,

punishment, and extinction. Choose a specific technique and evaluate its

effectiveness in a real-world context, citing relevant research.

Objective:

This assignment requires you to write a comprehensive paper (4-5 pages, excluding the title page

and references) that explores and synthesizes the key concepts discussed throughout the course

on behaviorism and applied behavior analysis (ABA). Your paper should be formatted in APA

style, including a title page, headings, in-text citations, and a reference page.

Instructions:

1. Choose 1 main topic from the course that you found most interesting or relevant to

your field of study (see ideas below).

2. Develop a thesis statement that encapsulates your perspective on the selected topics.

3. Incorporate evidence from course materials, scholarly articles, and relevant texts to

support your arguments and insights.

4. Conclude with a reflection on how these concepts can be applied in real-world settings,

particularly in behavior analysis.

Formatting Requirements:

Use 12-point Times New Roman font.

Double-space your paper with 1-inch margins.

Include a title page with the title of your paper, your name, institution, course, instructor,

and date.

Use headings to organize your content clearly.

Include in-text citations for any sources referenced.

Provide a reference page at the end of your paper listing all sources in APA format.

Annotated Bibliography:

The purpose of this assignment is to begin your research process and learn how to create an annotated bibliography to aid that research process.

Conduct a thorough literature search of the chosen topic related to a community-based behavioral health organization.

Create an annotated bibliography that includes:

• Identify 10 scholarly sources specific to behavioral health, theories you are using, or the population you are working with.
• Explain how each of the selected sources will support your program proposal.
• Create a minimum of five tables, graphs, figures, charts, or infographics based on the research in your annotated bibliography to support your program proposal.

Part 1: Stages of Change Application

After reading Choosing Strategies for Change, write a 500-750-word analysis that applies the stages of change to your proposed project.

Part 2: Logic Model Creation

Review the topic Resource titled “Logic Model Terms and Examples.”

Then, select one of the templates from the topic resource titled “19 Fillable Logic Model Templates and Examples” to create a logic model to start planning your project proposal (helping children in low income communities with mental health issues).

Your logic model should use two to three scholarly sources to support your ideas and include:

• Inputs
• Outputs (tangible results of activities, including the role of assessment, diagnosis, and treatment when working with behavioral health clients)
• Short-Term Outcomes
• Long-Term Outcomes
