After you met with Jeanette (the client’s mother from the Unit 3 Assignment), you learned the following:The family consists of a mother, father, and older sister; and they are 2nd – and 3rd -generation Americans whose grandparents were originally from Mexico.Axel, the son, was diagnosed with Autism 3-months ago. He is a very active 4-year-old; he takes no prescription medications; and he has Occupational Therapy (OT) once per week.The three behaviors that Jeannette listed as “concerns” were tantrum behaviors, rigidity, and non-compliance.Conduct a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)Apply the single-subject research design to this FBA.Employ Indirect Assessment with those who are familiar with Axel: Prepare an interview form for the indirect assessment.Choose one, or more, data collection/behavior measurement forms for your direct observation from the list below (Forms can be found and downloaded in Course Documents). Using “creative license,” fabricate data for use in this Assignment.Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence Form (Hint: you must identify the antecedents and consequences before you can hypothesize the function of the behavior(s). Behavior plans based upon the probable function of the behavior(s) are more effective.)Frequency Data SheetInterval Recording FormDuration Recording FormLatency Recording FormBased upon information gathered during the indirect assessment, schedule direct observation visits at the times, and in the environments, in which the target behaviors are likely to occur.Develop operational definitions of the target behaviorsCollect direct observation data using the forms (listed above) that are most appropriate for the behavior and setting.Choose one of the three target behaviors (tantrums, rigidity, or non-compliance) and create a line graph of the data. (In your Unit 9 Assignment, you will be designing a behavior intervention plan (BIP) based upon the target behavior you select in this Assignment.)Explain your choice.Summarize the considerations you must take into account when selecting a target behavior when a client exhibits multiple interfering behaviors.Based upon the visual analysis of the line graph, identify the probable function of the target behavior.Summarize the information collected during the indirect assessment and direct assessment in the Functional Behavior Assessment Report for Parents (FBARP) for Axel’s parents in understandable terms. Include in the FBARP, projected positive outcomes of addressing the target behavior with a behavior intervention plan (BIP). (The Functional Behavior Assessment Report for Parents (FBARP) can be downloaded in Course Documents.)The FBARP should be 2–6 pages. You must use at least two academic references to support your assertions in the FBARP. Provide in-text citations in APA format. For this assignment, you will provide title and reference pages in APA format, and on a Word document.Your paper will be organized in the following order:Title pageFBARPA-B-C Data Form for the selected Target BehaviorInterview Form(s)Line Graph of Baseline Data of Target BehaviorReference PageThis project should follow the conventions of Standard English with writing that is well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful. Your work should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics. You should use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Your work should be free of typographical errors. Contact the Writing Center for help with APA formatting.The following Course Outcomes will be assessed with this Assignment:BSABA-2 Research Methods: Apply basic methodology in psychology including research design, data analysis, and the interpretation and evaluation of findings.BSABA-6 Information and Technological Skills: Communicate psychological principles and concepts effectively in diverse social and professional settings.BSABA-7 Global Awareness: Explain how academic and applied psychology can improve interpersonal relationships across cultural and national boundaries.Two references that need to be used areMiltenberger, R.

Week 3 Project: Essay—Little Albert and Classical Conditioning There have been several classic experiments to study and describe classical conditioning; one of the more famous is the Little Albert experiment. Over the years, the experiment has lost some of its validity due to numerous interpretations by several introductory psychology textbooks. It is, therefore, beneficial to go back to the original (or primary) source and read what the authors of the experiment themselves had to say. Copy and paste the following line in the South University Online Library Quick Search line: "conditioned emotional reactions" (in quotation marks). The original article by Watson and Rayner was published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 1920. There is a reprint of the original article which can be found in the South University Online Library. Here is the reference for the article reprint: Watson, J. B., & Rayner, R. (2000). Conditioned Emotional Reactions. American Psychologist, 55(3), 313-317. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1037//0003-066x.55.3.313 Help finding article in Library Read the article and answer the following questions: In the study, what are unconditioned stimulus (US), conditioned stimulus (CS), and conditioned response (CR)?Explain the concept of generalization in regards to Watson and Rayner's ability to condition Albert to react to different stimuli such as masks, other animals, and a fur coat?Using examples from the study, explain the concept of extinction. Make sure you cite the article (see above for reference) you read as well as the textbook (used to explain classical conditioning). Submit your essay in a Microsoft Word document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned. Cite your sources on a separate page using the APA format.

As an advanced practice nurse assisting physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, it is important to not only understand the impact of disorders on the body, but also the impact of drug treatments on the body. The relationships between drugs and the body can be described by pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.Pharmacokinetics describes what the body does to the drug through absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, whereas pharmacodynamics describes what the drug does to the body.Photo Credit: Getty Images/Ingram PublishingWhen selecting drugs and determining dosages for patients, it is essential to consider individual patient factors that might impact the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes. These patient factors include genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, behavior (i.e., diet, nutrition, smoking, alcohol, illicit drug abuse), and/or pathophysiological changes due to disease.For this Discussion, you reflect on a case from your past clinical experiences and consider how a patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes may alter his or her response to a drug.To PrepareReview the Resources for this module and consider the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.Reflect on your experiences, observations, and/or clinical practices from the last 5 years and think about how pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors altered his or her anticipated response to a drug.Consider factors that might have influenced the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes, such as genetics (including pharmacogenetics), gender, ethnicity, age, behavior, and/or possible pathophysiological changes due to disease.Think about a personalized plan of care based on these influencing factors and patient history in your case study.By Day 3 of Week 1Post a description of the patient case from your experiences, observations, and/or clinical practice from the last 5 years. Then, describe factors that might have influenced pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of the patient you identified. Finally, explain details of the personalized plan of care that you would develop based on influencing factors and patient history in your case. Be specific and provide examples.
