The highest level of scientific investigation demonstrated in the FBA is the exp

The highest level of scientific investigation demonstrated in the FBA is the experimental analysis. The experimental analysis exemplifies the rigor of control as the practitioner manipulates environmental variables to evoke and abate the problem behavior. The consistent control of evoking and abating the target behavior demonstrates the functional relationship between environmental variable(s) and the target behavior(s).
For this assignment, select an experimental analysis of problem behaviors such as the Iwata’s full functional analysis (FA), brief FA, latency-based FA, trial-based FA, precursor FA, or the IISCA. Provide the benefits and limitations of the selected experimental analysis. Describe the conditions of your experiment to test the hypothesized function(s) or contingencies influencing the behaviors of concern. Provide hypothetical data and a visual display (graph). Be sure to incorporate values of compassion and cultural humility when selecting and conducting the experimental analysis. You can refer to the Capella Compassion Code [DOCX] for more details.
Part 1: Select the Experimental Analysis
Select the experimental analysis to be conducted for your functional behavior assessment. Provide the benefits and limitations of the selected experimental analysis. Provide a rationale for why you have chosen this method for the person or character you chose in your first assignment. Please include in your rationale how you considered compassionate approaches when selecting your experimental analysis.
Part 2: Describe the Experimental Analysis
Describe the conditions and procedures of your experimental analysis. Be sure to program for the appropriate establishing operations as suspected from the descriptive assessment. Please include in your rationale how you considered compassionate approaches when conducting your experimental analysis.
Part 3: Display Hypothetical Data and Interpret Results
For ethical reasons, DO NOT conduct an actual experimental analysis of behavior for this assignment. Instead, generate hypothetical data to show outcomes you might expect if you were to conduct the experimental analysis. Present the hypothetical data and result of the experimental analysis in a visual display. Be sure to use an appropriate graph to display the data, demonstrating experimental control. Interpret the results.
Part 4: Conclude the Experimental Analysis
Conclude the results of the experimental analysis by providing a confirmation of the functional control between environmental variables and problem behaviors. In other words, confirm the function(s) influencing problem behaviors. For the IISCA, confirm the functional control between the synthesized contingencies and problem behaviors.

For this Introduction to Quantitative Analysis Assignment, you will explore how

For this Introduction to Quantitative Analysis Assignment, you will explore how to visually display data for optimal use.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider visual displays of data.
For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Unit of Analysis and the Skill Builder: Levels of Measurement.
Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in this week’s Learning Resources.
From the dataset you chose, choose one categorical and one continuous variable and perform the appropriate visual display for each variable.
Once you visually display each variable, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.
For this Assignment:
Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your results and include a copy and paste of the appropriate visual display of the data into your document.
Based on the results of your data, provide a brief explanation of what the implications for social change might be. Early in your Assignment, when you relate which dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES.
Use appropriate APA format. Refer to the APA manual for appropriate citation.

 So many diseases can be prevented if you assess your risk factors and consult your medical professional early on. Visit the     Washington University School of Medicine’s Siteman Cancer Center website (Direct Link:     https://siteman.wustl.edu/prevention/ydr/?ScreenControl=YDRGeneral&ScreenName=YDRHome.htm) to assess your risk of the following diseases:

 I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the concepts this week. Your use of formative and summative assessments in your classroom sounds very reasonable. I do have a few questions regarding your plans. You had mentioned the use of formative assessment after teaching a large lesson to the class. Would you piggyback this with a summative assessment? I ask, because under normal circumstances a formative assessment is not graded, and is used more for your knowledge and student feedback. I am not sure of your familiarity with curriculum design, and this may play a role in your thoughts. I can certainly support the thought of using interim formative assessment to reflect on what knowledge students are gaining and which areas of the curriculum may remain fuzzy. Perhaps this method could be used to clarify topics prior to giving a summative assessment on the lesson. I can certainly see how this may be useful and may even institute this thought process in my future career. You certainly provide a great plan in your response and you have the wheels turning in my head as to how I can use the thoughts of yourself and my classmates to optimize my own classroom going forward. Thank you for expanding my own knowledge and allowing me to delve deeper into this subject!

DISCOVERING YOUR FEARS AND ANXIETY ABOUT RESEARCH
Every field and discipline of study is different in some way. It also means that every field/discipline of study has a different approach to research and data collection reflecting the nuances of the subject matter. Each method can be daunting to understand, especially to the uninitiated in that area of research. What has been your experience with research, either in school or in your professional career? How prepared do you feel to learn about how to conduct research? Does the idea of conducting experiments, collecting data, interviewing other professionals, or examining data in the literature cause you anxiety? Maybe you love to conduct research and find that it energizes you.
For this Discussion, you will reflect on your personal and professional experience with research and whether or not the idea or act of research brings you a level of anxiety.
Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.
Click the weekly resources link to access the resources. 
WEEKLY RESOURCES
To Prepare:
Review the Learning Resources for this week and the Common Fears and Anxiety About Research media program.
Consider your own personal anxieties, fears, and challenges you might have for research.
Consider the following:
Levels of Anxiety Survey
1                    2                    3                    4                    5
(Low)                            (Moderate)                            (High)
On this 5-point scale, with 5 being highest level of anxiety, 3 being moderate, and 1 being the lowest, score yourself as to your level of anxiety about this course. Use these results for your Discussion.
BY DAY 4
Post a self-introduction and describe your particular field or discipline. Explain how quantitative data in general are used in your field. Describe how numbers (i.e., quantitative data) are used to interpret a phenomenon in your field or discipline.
Next, based on the Levels of Anxiety survey, explain why you scored yourself at the level of anxiety you selected. Also, discuss your anxiety, fears, and one challenge you might have with research and how you might address this challenge.
