The father of school psychology is


Ligthner Witmer

The first school psychologist was


Arnold Gessell

B. F. Skinner


Skinner believed that all behavior was shaped and maintained by consequences that followed behavior.


Albert Bandura believed that cognition helped


drive behavior . Bandura added balance to the strict beliefs of the behavioristic theories of Skinner.


one of the first scientists to measure the construct of intelligence


Alfred Binet

Spearman and Thurstone both contributed substantially to psychometrics and cognitive testing. Spearman, especially, helped develop factor analysis.



What else did he create?

G factor intelligence

Cattell– Horn theory of crystallized and fluid intelligence. What do they mean

Fluid intelligence is associated with reasoning with novel problems, whereas crystallized intelligence is related to acquired knowledge and skills.


Cattell– Horn–Carroll or CHC theory


Wisc/Das/wj/sb



is statistically derived.



CHC adds additional narrow abilities to the crystallized and fluid view of intelligence.




IDEA Public Law 94– 142



Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) 2004


The IDEA act gives the right to a free and appropriate public education in the LRE for all students.

How to remember dependent vs Independent var

Reliability

when you step on the scale, its gives u the same or similar weight- every time. Its consistent. It tell u you are skinny every day. U rely on the scale to tell you u are skinny every day.



the consistency in what we are measuring-- its consitently a good scale! its reliable!

Content Validity

When a test has content validity, the items on the test represent the entire range of possible items the test should cover.

Criterion-related Validity

A test is said to have criterion-related validity when the test has demonstrated its effectiveness in predicting criterion or indicators of a construct.



There are two different types of criterion validity:


1.Concurrent Validity


2. Predictive Validity

Predictive Validity

Predictive Validity occurs when the criterion measures are obtained at a time after the test. Examples of test with predictive validity are career or aptitude tests, which are helpful in determining who is likely to succeed or fail in certain subjects or occupations

Concurrent Validity

This indicates the extent to which the test scores accurately estimate an individual’s current state with regards to the criterion. For example, on a test that measures levels of depression, the test would be said to have concurrent validity if it measured the current levels of depression experienced by the test taker.

Construct Validity

A test has construct validity if it demonstrates an association between the test scores and the prediction of a theoretical trait.



Intelligence tests are one example of measurement instruments that should have construct validity.

Face Validity

Face validity is a simple form of validity in which researchers determine if the test seems to measure what is intended to measure. Essentially, researchers are simply taking the validity of the test at face value by looking at whether a test appears to measure the target variable.

External validity

extent to which the results of a study can be generalized to other situations and to other people.

Internal validity

extent to which a causal conclusion based on a study is warranted. Such warrant is constituted by the extent to which a study minimizes systematic error (or 'bias').



it is the approximate truth about inferences regarding cause-effect or causal relationships

Social learning theory states that people learn not only through reinforcers and punishers (i.e., B.F. Skinner’s behaviorism) but also through observation. Albert Bandura illustrated that children can act aggressively by merely watching the violent behavior of others. The keyword to remember for Bandura’s research is “modeling.”

Denver Developmental Screening Test II

There are two levels of collecting progress-monitoring data:


SMM and GOM

SMM

(SMM)—Information on student progress is collected to determine whether the specific intervention for the target behavior is effective. SMM data should be collected frequently, even daily.


GOM

(GOM)—Data are collected to determine whether the student is making progress toward long-range goals. GOMs are used less frequently than SMM, such as once a week.

Das -Naglieri PASS Model:

four units and was originally proposed by A. E. Luria. This theory holds significant promise to help practitioners to conceptualize intelligence as it relates to brain function.



Four Functional Units of Brain Processes (PASS) 1. Planning


2. Attention


3. Simultaneous Processing


4. Successive Processing



PASS is more theory based than statistically based -- CAS is a test aligned w it




Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is based on the premise that thoughts influence feelings and ultimately control behavior.


Cognitive Therapy:


Related to reality therapy and developed by William Glasser, emphasis is on cognition and beliefs. Behavioral interventions, although important , are not the focus with this type of counseling.

Behavioral and Behaviorism Techniques


Behavioral interventions focus less on counseling and more on direct behavioral intervention.

Humanistic Approach


Developed by Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers; believes behavioral change cannot occur without a strong positive rapport built upon unconditional positive regard and empathy. People want to be understood by a trusted adult before they can move to change their lives.

Bibliotherapy:


Bibliotherapy is a type of cognitive intervention. The therapist generally uses a student’s own problem-solving skills and attempts to have the student relate to a character in a story to learn a lesson or skill that will be applicable to the student’s current situation.

Group Counseling:

During group counseling, a therapist can employ many of the same techniques used in individual counseling.



The following are important beneficial characteristics of group counseling:


• Is time efficient


• Often found within the Tier 2 intervention level


• Promotes social learning • Promotes skill generalization


Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Intervention:


ABA uses systematic instruction and repeated trials to change behavior. ABA is usually highly structured and can use adult-directed strategies, as seen in Lovas training or discrete trial training.



Incidental teaching, structured teaching, pivotal response training, functional communication training, and the picture exchange communication system (PECS).



Discrete trial instruction (DTI) as part of ABA is a systematic way of teaching that involves a series of repeated trials to teach and maintain cognitive, behavioral, or social skills.



Task analysis (key component of behaviorism) involves breaking down a skill into smaller steps that are easy to teach. Prompts are used to guide learners toward correct responses when teaching tasks. In the beginning , prompts are more obvious and then gradually fade away




Time out

When using response cost , students___ based on positive classroom behavior and lose them for inappropriate behavior.
