Applied Behavioral Analysis - Target Behavior Gagging with ABAB Withdraw Design/Token Economy.

Instructions

I really need someone who is familiar with specifically Applied Behavioral Analysis (please research what this is if not). The target behavior I chose was 1 student whose target behavior is gagging for attention. The intervention can either be tested using a ABA or ABAB withdraw design (please research what this is if not familiar). The reinforcer I chose for this intervention is a token economy (please research what this is if not familiar). This student specifically likes music album covers and likes to print them out as a reward. If the student doesnt gag for a certain interval/DRO - Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (please research what intervals and DRO is if not familiar) then the student will be rewarded. You can make up data, but must be able to explain the reliability and validity of your measures. You must also be able to graph the data. Basically, in a (ABAB design) lets say that we measured how many attempts every 15 minutes in a 5 hour span we would tally up how many attempts & list it on a sheet of paper thats for the A portion. Then, for the B portion we will do the same thing, BUT we will measure how many attempts after applying the intervention which is the token system (if the child doesnt gag for 15 minutes then the child gets the print out of an album cover). Then, we will repeat A & B (A - without intervention, B - with intervention) to see if the intervention is successful. If you want to apply multiple baselines in 3 different settings such as, 1. classroom around students (to see if student gags more around an audience since the child does it for attention), 2. how many times student does it around parents a home, and then 3. how many times student does it with you (interventionist and just student in a clinic setting). You can also include this if you need more writing material (it is a 10 page paper) but you must be able to graph this if so. Only difference is 3 different graphs for 3 different settings. Also, the ethical part you can discuss the ethics of ABA therapy (please research this if not familiar). Also, the limitations you can also try to determine (please look up if not familiar). Also, the reliability and validity should be explained after the made up results are displayed (please research reliability and validity and internal validity if not familiar). Please research/look up what a ABAB design graph looks like and how to input it. Thank you.I already came up with the ideas I just need someone to turn it into 10 pages and make up the data and graph/explain it. Please follow these directions below from my professor.. it must meet all criteria please.For your Assignment, you will design a hypothetical study using a withdrawal design for the target behavior and intervention you chose in Unit 5 (I already explained what I chose above). A Tip Sheet for the Unit 9 Assignment is located in Course Documents and will provide guidance in developing your Assignment. In your write up, be sure to include the following (see the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for more specific details about what to include in each section): Cover PageAbstractBrief Introduction (research questions, hypotheses, etc.)Method (including: participants; sampling procedures; sample size; target behavior; research design; ethical, legal, and sociocultural concerns; experimental manipulations or interventions; method of recording behaviors; reliability and validity of your measures)Results (provide mock data here), descriptive statistics, visual displaysDiscussion (including: the meaning and implications of the study; limitations; suggestions for future research)ReferencesBe sure to use proper APA style throughout, with a minimum of 10-15 pages total.The paper should:Follow assignment directions (review grading rubric for best results).Use correct APA formatting per the APA Publication Manual, 6th Edition.Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard American English.Be written in Standard American English and be clear, specific, and error-free. If needed, be sure to use the University Writing Center for help.

Answer

Applied Behavioral AnalysisAbstractThe study sought to show whether the ABAB withdrawal design helps to reduce the gagging for attention behavior. An experimental study with a token economy as reinforcement was used. The results obtained shows that the ABAB withdrawal design is effective. IntroductionThe problem of gagging for attention affects children and teenagers mostly as they seek to be recognized in a given setting such as school or at home. It creates a major challenge with respect to the interaction which an individual will have with his peers as well as others. To some extent, the individual seeking for attention as much might end up being a social misfit and his peers could avoid him. The intervention seeks to use the ABAB withdrawal design with the aim of improving the behavior...
