(2020), select three different areas of practice where Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can be effectively used to enhance the quality of life in real-world settings. You will use , formatted like an Annotated Bibliography, to organize your information. For each area selected, locate and summarize a recent peer-reviewed journal article (not included in the course readings) that illustrates how an ABA-based intervention improved an individual’s quality of life.

    Under each article summary, refer to your course readings to briefly discuss at least three specific key points that support how the intervention’s procedures and results reflect the application of fundamental ABA principles in producing behavior change.

    PART 2: RESPONDENT/OPERANT CONDITIONING ANALYSIS

    You will create a 6-8 slide PowerPoint presentation to guide your discussion of each of the outlined sections. Your presentation will be a narrated screen recording using Kaltura, which will be uploaded into the Unit 5 Assignment Dropbox, along with a copy of your PPT slide deck. Your PPT presentation should include a Title Slide and end with a reference slide formatted in APA.

    Using the scenario of you will analyze the respondent and operant conditioning relationships in the scenario and discuss their implications using behavior-analytic terms. Then, you will establish a simple plan that considers schedules of reinforcement and the use of various possible differential reinforcement procedures to support a change in Cindys behavior.

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    • Identify the respondent conditioning relationships in the scenario (i.e., stimulus-response pairs) using behavior-analytic vocabulary.
    • Discuss the elements of time and environment that influence Cindys respondent behavior.
    • Explain how the reflexive stimulus-response relationship could be reversed, providing examples of extinction or counterconditioning.
    • Create a diagram that visually represents the respondent conditioning relationships in the scenario.
    • Identify the operant conditioning relationships in the scenario (i.e., stimulus – response stimulus relations) using behavior analytic vocabulary.
    • Discuss the process of operant learning that occurred that maintained Cindys behaviors.
    • Establish a simple plan, providing examples of how different schedules of reinforcement (including the matching law) and a variety of differential reinforcement methods could be used to change Cindys behaviors. Also, discuss which methods would not be suggested and why.
    • If punishment were an option, describe, with a rationale, how you might implement a punishment procedure, identifying the anticipated outcome.

    Submit a 45-minute narrated Kaltura video of yourself, your slides, and any diagrams to discuss key concepts.

  • Existential and Person-Centered Theory and Therapy

    Critical Analysis of Existential and Person-Centered Theory and Therapy Introduction Each unit introduces you to major theories within the field of counseling and psychotherapy. In this unit, you will read about existential and person-centered theories and therapies. This is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the theories through a critical analysis journal entry. While it is acceptable to express your opinions within the analysis, it is essential that you back them up with evidence. This assignment is foundational for meeting CLO 1, and it assesses ULOs 3.1 and 3.3. Instructions Write a 4- to 5-page, double-spaced paper critically analyzing theoretical approaches presented in this unit: existential and person-centered theories. The purpose of critical analysis is not merely to inform, but to evaluate the worth, utility, excellence, distinction, and validity of the theories that were introduced within the unit. Include the relevant core principles of each theory and explain how these principles can be applied when working with clients. While it is acceptable to express your opinions within the analysis, it is essential that you back them up with evidence. Your paper should include the following: Introduction: Briefly outline the main ideas of the theories. Summary: Explain the key points of the theories and provide some examples. Analysis: The analysis should be a balanced discussion and evaluation of the strengths, weaknesses, and notable features of each theory. Critically state what you like and dislike about the theories. Assess what it would be like to use these therapeutic approaches when working with clients. Determine effectiveness. Back up your opinions with specific details from the text and research articles. Conclusion: Summarize your key points and highlight a few ideas for further consideration. References: Cite your textbook and outside sources that you used in your review.
  • Week 4

    Part 1: In this unit, you listened to the Halloway et al. (2021) podcast episode titled Making Common Factors Common in EBP Practice. The following questions pertain to this resource.

    A. Share your reaction to what you learned about the common factors in this podcast. Considering the common factors that the speakers listed, identify 2 or 3 that stood out to you as surprising. Or most important? Hardest/easiest for a clinician to do? Remember to explain your thinking so that we can follow along with your train of thought and join in; briefly describe the podcaster’s position on those point, too (what were some things they said that stood out?).

    B. One of the speakers used a scaffolding metaphor to explain the relationship between the common factors and empirically based, protocol-driven therapy practices. Given what you know now about this relationship, what metaphor would you use? Apply this metaphor to the speakers example of doing exposure therapy with his trainee (found between minutes 21:00- 25:00).

    C. If you were in the room with these clinicians while they were recording the podcast, what questions would you have for them? What would you want to know more about? How would knowing this help you better understand the relationship between the common factors and empirically-based practice?

    D. Combining what you have learned in this podcast episode with what you read in Chapter 10, offer your perspective on the value of empirically-supported therapies.

    Part 2: One of the subheadings in your text reading asks: Does psychotherapy work? How would you answer this question? Bring in specific, cited supporting points from your reading to justify your answer.

    Part 3: Read through Section 10 of the APA Ethics Code the section of the code that outlines ethical therapy practice. Of the 10 standards listed, identify two of them that stand out to you and offer:

    a. Your general reaction to them.

    b. What you see as the importance/value of that standard to the client, to the therapist, and to the field of psychology.
