Homework: Experimental Analysis

Competencies Measured

By successfully completing this homework, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:

I. Competency 1: Assess the environmental variables and functions of behavior.

1. Describe the conditions aligned with information from the descriptive analysis of the selected experimental analysis.

II. Competency 2: Assess client's skills, deficits, and preferences to determine appropriate intervention needs.

1. Explain the rationale for choosing a particular experimental analysis, including the benefits and limitations.

III. Competency 3: Apply knowledge of functions of behavior.

1. Provide a visual display of data and interprets the data with minimal errors.

2. Confirm the function(s) or contingencies influencing problem behaviors based on the experimental analysis, and it is supported by the visual display with minimal errors.

IV. Competency 4: Apply compassionate approaches to assessment procedures.

1. Explain how compassionate approaches were considered when selecting and implementing the assessment procedures.

V. Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly and consistent with expectations for professionals in the field of psychology.

1. Demonstrate an academic writing style through well-organized prose that follows homework guidelines.
2. Demonstrate compliance with APA style, citation, and referencing guidelines.

Overview

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 homework, 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 I: 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 homework. Please include in your rationale how you considered compassionate approaches when selecting your experimental analysis.

Part II: 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. Include in your rationale how you considered compassionate approaches when conducting your experimental analysis.

Part III: Display Hypothetical Data and Interpret Results

For ethical reasons, DO NOT conduct an actual experimental analysis of behavior for this homework. 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 IV: 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.
