Measurement, Data Display, and Data-Based DecisionsThis assignment is the third component of your course project.For this assignment, you will be assessed on your understanding of the following course competencies:Develop a plan to measure, generalize, and maintain intervention strategies.Communicate in a manner that is scholarly and consistent with expectations for professionals in the field of psychology.In your third project component, complete the following:Measurement: Explain the process of measurement you will use to analyze your case study. In your explanation, take into consideration environmental variables, available resources, and behavior of interest relevant to your case study. Remember, applied behavior analysts measure behavior to answer questions about the existence and nature of functional relations between socially significant behavior and environmental variables.Data Display: Select an appropriate form of visual display of behavioral data (choose from line graphs, bar graphs, cumulative records, semi-logarithmic charts, or scatterplots) from which valid and reliable decisions are best analyzed in your case study. Remember, the visual format you select should depend on the type of raw data you collect from your case study and the primary purpose of its evaluation.Data-Based Decisions: Justify how the selected form of data display will best allow you to make data-based decisions for your case study. Remember, the primary function of graphic displays of behavioral data is to communicate quantitative relations. Take into consideration validity, accuracy, and reliability of data.How to Organize Your PaperUse the following subheadings in your paper and format your subheadings in current 7 edition APA style.Measurement.Data Display.Data-Based Decisions.Assignment RequirementsYour assignment should meet the following requirements:Written communication: Should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to current 7 edition APA style guidelines.Resources: 3–5 scholarly or professional resources.Length: 5–6 double-spaced pages, excluding title page and list of references.Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-pointThe topic is Physical Aggression as it relates to the Applied Behavior Analysis field.

At times, clients have multiple needs at once. Often one need is linked to many others; for example, if a client has no job, multiple problems are linked to unemployment. In addition, a client’s needs may not be exactly the ones that they identify as being most urgent. Thus, it is important to develop assessment skills that allow you to properly identify, prioritize, plan, implement, and evaluate multiple needs to implement an effective intervention plan. To prepare for this Discussion, review your course materials from any class that discussed assessment procedures and strategies.Create a short scenario of a client who needs assistance related to your chosen area of study. (Human Services/ Youth and Family Services) Describe, in a paragraph, the situation and the assistance needed from your client. For example, your client might be an adult client with children that has been unemployed for 6 months.Describe the process that you would use to assess and prioritize this client’s needs.What interventions would you use to help this client to meet the needs identified in your assessment?

For this case study, you ideally will need to recruit a healthy adult competitive athlete. This person can be a recreational sports athlete, college athlete, or other type of active athlete. Alternatively, you can even use yourself. Note that this is just an academic exercise, so the person you are working with does not need to follow the program.Go through Steps 1 to 8 from Unit 17, provided below, and develop nutritional guidepnes for your subject, dependent on the season that he/she is in. Then provide a discussion as to why you made your recommendations.Show all calculations that may apply, using the methods in the course textbook related to the Steps. Make note of the person’s age, gender, sport, and athletic season.Step 1: Determine body composition.Step 2: Determine daily caloric expenditure range for training days and non-training days and for competition days.Step 3: Determine the bioenergetics the sport primarily demands for peak athletic performance; Athlete- Type; Anaerobic - Immediate Energy System; Anaerobic Glycolytic; Anaerobic Glycolytic - Oxidative Glycolytic; and Oxidative. Some examples of sports are included below.Step 4: Determine daily protein intake estimate and the foods and supplements to achieve it. Remember from your lessons that protein requirements can differ among different Athlete-Types and among individual athletes. This gives a scientific reason for making protein intake a priority for sports nutrition programs, in addition to other factors.Step 5: Determine daily carbohydrate estimate and the foods and supplements to achieve it. Remember to plan for carbohydrate beverage intake before, during, and after practice and for sport events as appropriate. Modulate carbohydrate type and amount with meals and snacks to meet specific nutrition goals.Step 6: Determine fat (essential fatty acids) intake estimate and plan, and select foods and cooking methods to achieve it. Keeping fat intake under 30 percent of total daily calories will be an ongoing skill to master. For certain sports, maintaining low fat intake during the season—between 15 and 20 percent of total daily calories—can be challenging and requires extra effort to make sure athletes are ingesting adequate amounts of the essential fatty acids: Linoleic and Alpha-linolenic acids. Add healthy sources of essential fatty acids in addition to EPA and DHA as required for health.Step 7: Maintain proper fluid intake estimate to meet daily requirements, as determined by amount of physical activity, environmental factors, and specific athletic training, performance, and health needs.Step 8: Determine the needs for using special sports nutrition and dietary supplement products.
