Observable

3. Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Paul Alberto and Anne Troutman have explained ABA, a popular behaviour theory that was based on the original work of B.F. Skinner (L, P.29). ABA predominantly utilise procedure that focuses on modifying observable behaviour (L, p.23). The main principle of ABA is to identify the behaviours to be changed and measuring it through careful observation (W, p.229). According to B.F.Skinner, children are easily involved in the learning, engaging in the behaviours…

many false ideas about individuals, these false concepts of character can sometimes portray an observable identity of the individual. People then make assumptions about the individual based on the visual perception that they have of you. This concept is especially true in the professional world. It is something I have experienced in both work places that I am currently in. When people see me, the observable identity that they see is a young-looking, attractive, ditzy, blonde girl. However, half…

the observer. However, Schrödinger is asking a different question – how can something as limited in space and time as a human being is can accommodate something as huge as even one galaxy within its boundaries? Answer to this question is that the observable universe is only a projection of information. We do not store actual body of a human being in our brain; our brain only stores (if at all) information about the entity. When projected inside our body; it does not take the form we perceive…

psychoanalysts of the time and was much more involved with the concept of what the “self” of a person really is. It deviated from the psychoanalytic and behavioristic approaches by encouraging the individual to self-actualize rather than study their observable behaviors or to read into their psychological transgressions. Among the research done in this field, two main psychologists stood out. Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers both contributed heavily to this sub discipline of psychological study.…

There were several medical theories that emerged and held their merit for a period of time. However by the 1900’s, one concept had dominated the medical landscape. The continued development of medical theories symbolized the increased complexity of thinking between physicians and scientists. During the 1800’s, major infectious diseases like cholera, tuberculosis, typhus, and yellow fever strongly emerged in Europe with the etiology of these infections far to be known. Some of the early concepts…

Media Violence and Adolescent Aggression are related Today, television, video games, music and other media sources are part of the everyday life of our youth. “American adolescent spends approximately eight hours a day using media, either as a primary activity or as background to other activities” (Arnett, 2001), and violent displays are becoming more common. Adolescents between the ages of 6-13 who are exposed to violence in the media are more aggressive than those who are not. To test this…

Content area I: Assessment, includes the task list items I-01: Define behavior in observable and measurable terms, and I-06: Make recommendations regarding behaviors that must be established, maintained, increased, or decreased (Behavior Analyst Certification Board, 2012). My submission for this content area is the Behavior Change assignment from SPE 565, which demonstrates how to define behaviors and make recommendations for behavior reduction, as well as the replacement behavior. The…

John Broadus Watson was an American psychologist who established that psychology should study only observable behavior, he was determined to demonstrate that fears could be conditioned, through a processes involving an association of stimuli. Watson believed that the goal of psychology must be to study something that is definable and observable. He was doing his research on conditioning of fear in humans. Watson had already done research to prove that young children are not naturally afraid of…

environment, mixing solution, and the types of materials. Through analysis and an understanding of DNA prior to the experiment, our hypothesis is if dish soap and other materials are mixed with strawberries, DNA will be observable. We know that DNA is found within plants and that DNA can be observable, regardless of how much DNA can be extracted. Thus, we can be able to observe some DNA that can be found within the strawberry when we use household…

In the articles in question, Barbara Fields examines the origins of racial ideology in America. She sets out to debunk the idea that “race is an observable physical fact, a thing, rather than a notion that is profoundly, and in its very essence, ideological”. Many Americans, including historians, ascribe to race “a transhistorical, almost metaphysical status that removes it from all possibility of analysis and understanding”. She challenges the notion that racialism was a natural, reflexive,…
