, which highlights the interplay between motivating operations, verbal behavior, and emergent relations in behavior change and language development. Your team may select either Important for ME, or Important for YOU (pg. 160) or I Wish Hilde Would Just Tell Us (pg. 218).
Your team will collaboratively present your analysis and proposed strategies through a Zoom recording that includes both audio and video of you and your team members, along with your PowerPoint presentation. After recording your presentation, you will upload the final video to Kaltura for submission.
Your team will collaboratively analyze the following:
- Motivating Operations: Identify any establishing or abolishing operations present in the scenario. How do these affect the individuals behavior? Be sure to include how value-altering and behavior-altering effects are evident within the case.
- Contingencies: Identify whether the behavior of concern is rule-governed or contingency-shaped. Provide a brief rationale for your selection. Define the five contingencies (reinforcement, punishment, extinction). Identify what specific environmental contingencies are currently maintaining the target behavior(s).
- Verbal Behavior: Identify the six elementary verbal operants (mand, tact, etc.) and their specific properties, including point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity, and describe how verbal behavior is affected by environmental variables (antecedents/consequences). Identify specific verbal operants that are relevant to the case study and briefly explain the effects of these verbal behavior deficits.
- Stimulus Control: Analyze how stimulus control may be influencing the individuals behaviors. What are the current stimuli in the environment that evoke or elicit the target behavior(s)?
- Emergent Relations: Describe the three components of stimulus equivalence (reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity). Then, explain how these principles contribute to the formation of more complex relational frames, such as entailments and transformation of stimulus function, and briefly identify their role in the development of language and cognition.
As a team, design a set of strategies based on the case study that includes:
- Manipulation of Motivating Operations: Propose strategies to adjust the MOs to encourage positive behavior change, explaining the effects (abolishing/establishing operations and states of MO).
- Contingencies: Develop a total of four specific reinforcement/punishment strategies (a positive and negative for each) that could be used to modify the problem behavior. Support the use of punishment procedures with a rationale.
- Verbal Behavior Support: Include specific training or reinforcement techniques to improve verbal behavior, referencing the principles of verbal operants, stimulus equivalence, and multiple control.
- Stimulus Control: Provide a detailed example of how you would use a shaping procedure that uses differential reinforcement and stimulus and response prompt fading techniques to transfer stimulus control to relevant environmental stimuli.
- Generalization and Maintenance: Explain how you would plan for generalization and maintain the learned behaviors over time, particularly with respect to how emergent relations would support the process. Create a diagram that demonstrates one example of how you could support the development of emergent relations for this client, with a consideration of how a transformation of function could be established. Your presentation should include the following elements:
- Title slide: Provide your name, title of assignment, course and section number, and date.
- Content slides: Answer all the questions, reflecting appropriate personal and professional insights.
- The assignment must be written in Standard English and demonstrate superior organization, including a highly developed viewpoint and purpose. Your responses should reflect professional writing standards, using proper tone and language. The writing and writing style should be correct, accurate, and reflect knowledge of skills and practice in the professional field.
- Presentations are visual; therefore, use clear, concise bullet points and avoid crowded slides. You may include the use of graphics and SmartArt to streamline information in a memorable manner. Additionally, images and diagrams are wonderful presentation tools, but be sure to include all required citations. Please review the resource for tips and suggestions. Submissions must be in .pptx format and no larger than 40 MB.
- Note: Visual effects and some dark-colored themes, such as Slate, may prevent Turnitin from fully processing a PowerPoint file and, consequently, from generating a Similarity Report. Review the to ensure a report will be generated.
- Reference slide: Sources listed in current APA format.
- Include a minimum of five scholarly or academic sources to support your responses and conclusions.
- Use Arial or Times New Roman 24-point font.
- Use current APA formatting and citation style.
- Please use this helpful video resource, , to format a PowerPoint by applying current APA style to a title slide; body slides using bullet points, figures, tables, and copyright statements; and a reference list with hanging indentations.
