Applying Differential Reinforcement Procedures

Complete the readings and the before you attempt the discussion question.

Define each of the differential reinforcement procedures, noting how the two components of each procedure affect the occurrence of problem and desired behaviors. Then, choose a personal behavior, or the behavior of someone in your environment (maintaining confidentiality, of course!). Choose a Differential Reinforcement procedure and explain how you would apply that procedure to decrease the problem behavior and increase a desired behavior, taking into consideration the thoughts on schedules of reinforcement and matching law covered last week.

PART 1: Use AI (ChatGPT, etc.)

You need to write a prompt (instruction) for the AI to create a research study.

The study must include:

• A setting related to your career
• Participants
• Procedure
• How results are measured
• 150200 words

Important:

• It must NOT identify the type of research design (e.g., experimental, etc.)
• It must NOT mention any weaknesses or limitations

Then you copy:

1. Your prompt
2. The full AI response

PART 2: Your analysis (ONLY you, no AI)

Answer in 23 sentences each:

1. Internal validity
   • Identify one problem in the study
   • Explain why it is a problem
   • Explain how you would fix it
2. External validity
   • Identify one problem
   • Explain why it affects real-world application
   • Explain how to improve it

After reading the three articles on helping behavior, what do you think are the main variables that enhance or reduce a person’s chance of getting help when needed? Are there any ethical concerns that arise when using research to test these variables and their effect on helping?

What might you do in a given situation to enhance your chances of getting help?

Use research from the to support your claims.

Depending on the case, icnlude whichever format suits the case.

Identify a social movement of interest to you. Document the origins, significant actions, and results of a social movement (e.g., the womens movement, the civil rights movement, the right to die movement, the environmental movement, the labor movement, etc.). Examine aspects of the social movement in terms of origin, major persons involved, aims in historical context, composition, type of action, evolution over time, concurrent influences, and current status in terms of programmatic, policy or legislative change. Finally, discuss whether the movement was successful, and any future steps that can be taken to further the movement.

This paper should be 6-7 pages of text and cite at least 3 scholarly sources (in additional to the textbook). APA format and writing standards are required- there is a template for APA on our ‘Start Here’ module 🙂

The movie of choice is Matilda.

You will be creating a presentation explaining development from the movies. You will create a PowerPoint presentation describing the selected character, their developmental period, typical developmental challenges, and explain where the character falls within Eriksons stage and explain Bronfenbrenners ecological systems your selected character is a part of.

Your presentation should have 8 slides of content (not including title page and references) and include about a paragraph of notes on each slide. Watch the video if you need a reminder on how to get to the notes section. If you do not have PowerPoint, you can submit a Prezi presentation, but must also include a word document of notes. BCCC offers Microsoft Office 365 for free, FYI. If using a Mac, please ensure it’s saved into a .ppt extension not the mac equivalent so I can read it!

MY ANSWER —- HELP ME PARAPHRASE IT AND MAKE IT LIKE THE FORMAT THE PROFESSOR IS ASKING PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!!!
CHARACTER ANALYSIS:

The first source I will use is a peer-reviewed journal article by Ragelien (2016), which focuses on adolescent identity development. This source connects to Erik Eriksons theory of identity versus role confusion. I will use it to explain how Simba struggles with his identity after leaving the Pride Lands and avoids his responsibilities before eventually accepting his role as king.
The second source is another peer-reviewed article by Crocetti (2017), which explains how identity forms and changes during adolescence. This source will help me analyze Simbas internal conflict and how he develops a sense of self over time. It supports the idea that identity develops through experiences, which is clearly shown in Simbas journey.
The third source is my textbook, Child Development: A Cultural Approach by Arnett and Maynard (2022). This source explains developmental psychology concepts such as emotional growth and social development. I will use it to explain how Simba matures from a dependent child into a responsible adult leader.
