QUESTION 2
You conduct a single-subject experiment to see whether you can reduce disruptive behavior in a third-grade child by ignoring instances of talking out of turn. You first observe the child s behavior under normal conditions and then after his teacher has been instructed to ignore the child when he talks out of turn. You find that his talking out of turn is reduced when it is ignored. According to the text,you can safely conclude that your treatment was the only variable that was affecting the child s talking out of turn.you can conclude that the effect of your treatment is only temporary.you cannot safely conclude that your treatment was the cause of the change in behavior because your treatment is confounded with time.

QUESTION 14
The general format of a baseline experiment is toobserve the behavior of several subjects only once.observe behavior in the absence of a treatment and then introduce the treatment and observe behavior again.assign one subject to each of the treatment groups in an experiment and observe the behavior of each subject.assign several subjects to a treatment group and other subjects to a control group but look at individual data rather than grouped data.

QUESTION 15
Using multiple levels of an independent variable in a single-subject experiment is a problem becausethere are no statistical tests that can be applied to the resulting data.subjects may tire too quickly to allow for complete replication.usually single-subject research has too few subjects to allow for adequate counterbalancing.

QUESTION 16
A drawback to the single-subject approach is thatsometimes it takes several days to reach a stability criterion.sometimes identifying sources of error variance is difficult.you cannot adequately test the reliability of your results.you cannot adequately test the generality of your results.

QUESTION 17
If the desired level of control over variables is not possible in a single-subject design, some researchers advocategiving up on doing the experiment.using a baseline rather than a discrete trials design.using statistics.

QUESTION 18
Those who advocate using inferential statistics with data from single-subject designsbelieve that statistics should replace replication to establish reliability.believe that statistics should be used only when intersubject replication is not possible.do not want to replace control over variables with statistical techniques.believe that control over variables should be replaced by statistical control.

Define and explain schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders bas

 
Define and explain schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders based on the DSM-5 and the scholarly articles found in this week’s Learning Resources.
Explain the driving factors that bring some individuals with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders into contact with the criminal justice system.
Explain the forensic psychological implications of schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders. 
Note: Your posts should be substantial (300–500 words), supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources, and properly cited using APA style. Personal anecdotes are acceptable within meaningful responses but cannot stand alone as a response. 

 As you have learned from your reading and resources this week, culture profoun

 As you have learned from your reading and resources this week, culture profoundly affects teaching and learning.  Many aspects of culture contribute to a student’s identity and self-concept and affect the student’s beliefs and values, attitudes and expectations, social relations, language use, and other behaviors. For this forum, please choose one (1) of the following to discuss in relation to student achievement: 
Socioeconomic status
Ethnicity and race
Language differences
After you have selected the area that you want to focus on for this forum, please:
Discuss ways in which the topic you have chosen can influence student achievement.
Find one (1) journal article from a peer-reviewed journal with a study that has investigated your topic and student achievement (Example:  The effect of socioeconomic status on student achievement).  Provide a link to the study and discuss the findings and whether or not you believe that the findings coincide with what you have learned this week.
Discuss at least two (2) ways in which educators can “bridge the gap” for students in relation to the topic you have chosen.  Please be thoughtful in your response to this portion of the question.  These suggestions do not have to come from the book and may come from your independent research while searching for your journal article.

 A “gender lightbulb moment” is a time you became aware of being treated differently because of your gender.  For example, a girl not being allowed to play football, or a boy being told he shouldn’t play with dolls.  It could encompass anything from the toys you were allowed to play with, being aware of different rules for boys and girls, and feeling uncomfortable because of your gender in a certain situation.  You may also consider the concept of gender fluidity, in which individuals do not necessarily commit or conform to the gender code that they were assigned.For this forum:
Please provide your “gender lightbulb moment” and reflect on how this experience might have affected you.
As an educator, what are some ways that sex role stereotyping and gender biasing can be countered?  How will you establish your classroom to avoid these pitfalls?
Provide a link to an article or news story that illustrates some of the negative effects of gender biasing and briefly discuss the implications of the article/story you have posted.
Be sure to include properly cited scholarly sources.

 his week’s discussion is designed to help you create a glossary for yourself.  Save this glossary for your future work. 
Select 5 of the following terms, define them, and provide an example that helps illustrate the terms so you (and your peers) are better able to remember them and apply them to work.  Please do not include any quoted material.
Try to select terms that have not yet been defined so the class can cover all of the terms together. 
This is a collaborative effort, thus the terms are all written below and YOU must respond to ones that have not been tackled. If there are words that have not yet been defined, you should address those before doubling up, so the earlier this is done, the more choices you have! You will NOT receive credit if you doubled up when there are still words that are not defined.  This will be a very good resource for you in the end!

Imagine yourself as a group member. What kinds of feedback would you like? Would it all be positive and supportive? Would you prefer to receive challenges along with support from the group to help you develop new alternatives?
Think back to some of your own significant emotional experiences in your life. What factors were present that made those emotional experiences significant to you? What were you able to learn from them? How were you able to implement changes in your thoughts or behaviors as a result?
When family and friends are experiencing difficult times, how do you react? Do you tend to jump into problem-solving mode and tell them how to fix things, or do you tend to respond more by acknowledging their feelings and understanding their reactions?
Envision yourself as the leader of a group being faced with unhelpful group member actions. What frame of mind will help you to assist the members in redirecting their behaviors to more positive channels?

Are there any unresolved strong emotional issues in your life? If so, how might you respond to clients with similar unresolved issues?
 Reflection Questions (Choose 1-3 Questions to Reflect Upon)
More often than not, the reason we recognize issues in others is because the same issues also exist, on some level, in us. Have you ever observed issues in your immediate circle of influence that actually resemble your own?
Think back to a time when you felt really frustrated with or angry at someone; what might really be the deeper issue? In other words, where might you have felt hurt? Where might you have felt unloved?
So often, even the most extroverted of people have trouble giving voice to their true feelings. Are there instances in your life where you were not able to truly express yourself and speak your “truth” in situations? Give examples. As a clinician, how might you model authentic expression of thoughts and ideas?
Generally speaking, one can only take a person as far as they have gone themselves. What are you doing to further your investigation of your own internal world?
Boundaries and the lack thereof is a common theme amongst people. Often we say “yes” when we really mean “no.” Can you think back to times when you said yes to a person or situation when you really wanted to say no? How might boundaries be pertinent for you as a clinician?
