Unit 9 Final Assignment GuideGeneral Tips:Support your rationales with literature. You should have in-text citations with your rationales.Case Study 1: William1. Make sure you are defining the behavior, not just naming it. I need a 1-2 sentence definition for your target behavior. 2. Use information from Units 1 and 2 to answer this question. I want to know what type of assessment you will be conducting and why. Don’t forget to include a brief mention of how you will be measuring the behavior during your assessment. You can choose multiple assessment methods. 3. The teacher tried two different behavioral methods and they did not work – why not? Remember that if a behavior continues to occur, it is being reinforced in some way.4. In order to design a behavior modification program, you must know the function of the behavior. Briefly summarize the results of your hypothetical functional assessment. A combinations approach means that you have one intervention targeted at decreasing the occurrence of the target behavior and one intervention targeted at increasing the occurrence of an appropriate replacement behavior. Both should address the function of the target behavior. (Stay far far away from punishment procedures! I don’t want to see any in your assignments).5. Give your rationale for your combination approach and be sure to back up your rationale with the relevant literature (from your textbooks or JABA).6. Spend most of your time working on this question. It is worth 40 points. I need to know how you are going to evaluate the behavior modification program you have developed for William. How are you going to determine if it is working? I need to know what data you are collecting, how often you are collecting data, who is going to collect that data, did you use a research design, what research design and why? How will you know if your treatment was effective? Make sure to explain each step.7. I’m not looking for a lot here – just a few sentences. Make sure to address/define spontaneous recover, extinction, and how to maintain a desirable behavior. How does this relate to William’s case? Does it?Case Study 2: Annie1. You can address this question one of two ways. You can answer it as 3 possible issues that can occur with the implementation of any behavior modification program or you can answer it as 3 possible issues that could have occurred with the implementation of Annie’s token economy (Miltenberger discusses possible issues with token economy implementation). Just list them, don’t describe them. Do use sentences, though.2. Pick one of those 3 issues you listed and describe it. Tell me more about it.3. Question 3 and all of its parts are worth 40 points. Focus your time here. You need to pick a behavior modification program that is not a token economy and describe it. You cannot use the token economy. Look at the behaviors you are trying to teach Annie. You are trying to teach her skills – how will you do this?b. Tell me why you chose this procedure and back your decision up with the relevant literature.c. A behavioral goal should include a time component, a dimension of the behavior, and the behavior. So, the specific behavior, how much of it, how often, and by when?d. Write procedures that staff could implement. Best way to do this is to write a task analysis for staff on how to run your program with Annie.e. Who is going to collect data and how are you going to collect it.f. Same as with evaluation in the last case study, though probably not as detailed. How will you determine if your plan worked? Did you use a research design? (Review the issues of using research designs when you are teaching a new skill and the person cannot unlearn the skill).
