Assignment
This cumulative assignment allows you to consider everything you have learned over the past 5 weeks in an attempt to change a behavior of your own. This overall process is similar to what a board-certified behavior analyst would compete with a new client.
Refer to the approved behavior you would like to change, based on your submission to your instructor in Week 3.
Track baseline data over a 3-day period, using the Baseline Data Worksheet.
Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper that outlines an intervention plan for changing that behavior, in which you discuss the following:
• Describe the target behavior.
• Outline the dimensions of measurement/baseline measurement.
• Describe the function of the baseline behavior.
• Outline the goals of the behavioral change.
• Propose a behavior intervention plan based on goals.
o Provide a minimum of 2 antecedent changes.
o Provide 4 to 5 consequence modifications. Choose consequences based on at least four of the following: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, negative punishment, positive punishment, and extinction.
• Describe any potential barriers to treatment, as well as how you would overcome these barriers.
• Describe the expected outcome if the behavior intervention plan was implemented and followed.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
