consistently displays defiant and aggressive behaviors towards peers and adults, I have observed that the only thing predictable about his behaviors is that there occur on a daily basis. After reading the running records that were completed through observations that occurred three times daily for two days, I have come to the conclusion that his negative behaviors occurred during almost all times of the day, therefore making it hard to predict these aggressive behaviors. The only time during…

asked of him in class and has been exhibiting a “selective hearing” behavior in regards to certain conversation topics. The behavioral funnel will be used to assess Dr. Harvey’s behavior and the appropriate responses. According to Hawkins (1979), the behavioral assessment is similar to the shape of a funnel. The beginning of the assessment should be broad and consider all possibilities while having a narrow scope of the behavior. There are 5 stages that form the behavioral funnel and to better…

that consists of impairments of social interaction, communication, and restricted repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Autism was first used to describe children in 1943 by psychiatrist Leo Kanner at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. According to Kanner’s case reports, 11 children displayed behaviors that were completely different from any other behavior that had been reported. These children all shared difficulty relating to others, seemed isolated from the outside…

supporting societies structure is behavior. Initially “teachers are concerned with establishing and enforcing rules and they express discomfort with their authoritarian roles” (Jones & Vesilind, 1995). But school educators must exercise their authority since they are of importance in molding good behavior in children that will be beneficial to school settings and the society as the child reaches adulthood. School systems play a big role…

chocolate at least five out of the seven days of the week; two to three king sizes of any given chocolate candy’s brands per day. This behavioral intention (i.e. attitudes toward the behavior) now turned into a negative health behavior. My excessive consumption of chocolate has become a health compromising behavior (i.e. behaviors that detract from or damage health) since it is now an addictive, habitual and somehow pleasurable activity to me. My high conception of sugar in chocolate could…

Applied Behavior Analysis Final Written Report Off-task behavior is a common concern in classroom. Multiple researches have studied different methods to decrease off-task behaviors. For example, the teachers’ greetings may have be successful antecedent attention; teacher greeting decreased three middle school student’s need to receive attention from the teacher by being off-task. Additionally, the Keep Busy and Carry On (KBCO), a computer-assisted intervention aimed at decreasing transition…

males and 12 females. This study compared two interventions, to evaluate which would have a larger effect on disruptive behavior in children in public schools. The two interventions were, Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The main difference between these two interventions is, PRT allowed children to choose their rewards based on their behavior. Whereas in ABA, the teachers chose the children’s rewards. The intervention took place during summer school, and…

After analyzing the data collected over the last two weeks it showed that the intervention being implemented was working. The intervention was effective in decreasing my behavior (consumption of high carbohydrate foods) by utilizing my healthier substitute of fruits, vegetables and salads. The first couple of days of the intervention I felt sluggish and tired. However, the daily exercise did contribute to the effectiveness of the intervention. Additionally, daily exercise gave me more energy and…

Behavior Chaining Behavior analysis often uses behavioral chaining as a common intervention with individuals with developmental delays. Therapist must create and validate a task analysis after their initial functional behavior assessment is conducted. This allows them to determine what type of behavior chaining will be used. Behavior analyst use evidence-based practices in the integration of best research evidence (Walker, 2007). Task Analysis Behavior analyses have to create and confirm task…
