For this assignment, you will provide a long-answer essay response to each of the questions below. Please do not copy and paste the whole question into the document. Rather, provide the question number (1-4) and a brief heading that correlates with each section of the grading rubric. (Example: 1. Applied Perspectives)
Using Figure 1.3 (Improving people’s quality of life from A to Z) in Chapter 1 of Cooper et al. (2020) choose three different areas of practice where applied behavior analysis might be an appropriate and effective approach to improving quality of life in real world settings. For each area chosen, create a brief hypothetical scenario that illustrates a behavior change that would improve quality of life for an individual in a real world setting. For each scenario, use your course resources and readings to develop at least five supporting points that justify your assertion that the scenario represents applying the understanding of the science of human behavior to understand and improve socially significant behaviors in real-world settings.
Listen to the scenario: Cindy and the Magician (transcript attached) and complete the following:
Using Behavior Analytic Vocabulary, explain the various characteristics of Respondent Conditioning, identifying specific relationships between stimuli and responses and discussing how the elements of time and environment contribute to an organism’s respondent behavior. Next, explain the process used to reverse an established reflexive stimulus-response relationship. Finally, analyze the scenario and discuss each of the elements of Respondent conditioning that you identify.
3. Using course readings and resources for support, describe and define how the operant conditioning paradigm can influence an organism’s behavior. Be sure to reference and describe stimulus response relations and the antecedent-behavior – consequence (three term) contingency. Next, create a hypothetical example that describes a behavioral excess for decrease or a behavioral deficit for increase. In your example, first identify how the behavior may be modified by changing antecedent stimuli. Then, describe how the behavior may be modified by changing consequences.
4. Using Behavior Analytic Vocabulary, explain how Operant Conditioning differs from Respondent Conditioning. Then, explain how different schedules of reinforcement can influence a behavior, with one example for each schedule. Next, choose an example of a behavior and show how each of the five possible differential reinforcement procedures would affect that behavior of an organism. Be sure to discriminate between ‘schedules of reinforcement’ and ‘differential reinforcement.’
The assignment should be a 9 page essay, not including title page. Do not put title, just start developing the essay. It should include the following elements:
Body: Answer the questions in complete sentences and paragraphs, using APA format section headings for organization.
The assignment must be written in Standard English and demonstrate superior organization, including a highly developed viewpoint and purpose. The communication of your thoughts must be highly ordered, logical, and unified, displaying exceptional content, organization, style, and mechanics (including the use of correct grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure).
Reference Page: Sources in APA format
At least four scholarly sources to support the ideas presented
Use Arial or Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spaced
Use 7th Edition APA Formatting and Citation style

The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with a final opportunity to review and create assessment documents, describe the decision-making process of creating appropriate behavior change programs, identify different choice options for interventions to teach or change behavior, and develop an APA style graph.
Instructions
This assignment requires you to review videos and assessment documents before completing the following activities:
Behavioral Definitions
Measurable Behaviors
ABC Form
Functional Assessment Summary
Scatterplot Data/Chart
Data Triangulation Chart
Problem Behavior Pathway
Competing Behavior Pathway
Behavior Intervention Plan
Baseline and Intervention Graph
Please start with this document (MockFBA_2024.docx Download MockFBA_2024.docx), which you will also use as a template. The document includes instructions on how to complete each activity.
When prompted to review the “Mock FBA Interview
Documents”, please use the following document: Mock FBA Interview Docs.pdf
Beaulieu and Jimenz-Gomez (2022) introduce a framework for cultural responsiveness in the field of applied behavior analysis.
Briefly describe the research and practice recommendations made in this article, highlighting how they could be applicable to someone working in the field.
Instructions
For this assignment, complete the following using the Reinforcement and Punishment Template [DOCX]. Please try to provide examples of the impact of the environment on your behavior through naturally occurring reinforcement and punishment and the natural occurrence of extinction.
Reinforcement
Provide one detailed example of how positive reinforcement works to increase or maintain a behavior’s occurrence in your own life.
Provide one detailed example of how negative reinforcement works to increase or maintain a behavior’s occurrence in your own life.
Punishment
Provide one detailed example of how positive punishment works to decrease a behavior’s occurrence in your own life.
Provide one detailed example of how negative punishment works to decrease a behavior’s occurrence in your own life.
Extinction
Provide one detailed example of how a behavior in your own life was reduced through extinction.
For all your examples:
Be sure to label the three-term contingency.
Be sure to explain why the examples you chose work to increase or decrease the behavior.
