Overview
The treatment phase is like the baseline phase with the exception of the treatment being added to determine if there is a change in the data. Treat your target behavior, using the treatment method(s) that you have researched in this course. Use the time available to you to treat it, whether it is one week or two. Then prepare and submit your Behavioral Modification Project: Treatment Phase Report Assignment, which will consist of the following 6 parts. Use Level One headings to differentiate the parts.
Instructions
1. Target Behavior: The target behavioral definition is clear and measurable with research support for an operational definition. Examples are cited if clarification is needed.
2. Treatment Method: The treatment method is described clearly and concisely.
3. Treatment Period & Dimensions: Show the dates (and times if relevant) of your treatment phase. (the x axis of the graph). The logical dimension(s) – Frequency – Intensity – Duration – Latency – that were observed and recorded during the treatment are clearly and consistently stated and shown. (y axis of the graph).
4. Experiment Narrative: Described the logistics and process of the experimental treatment phase (the research design – AB or ABAB, schedules of treatment, confounding variables that may have impacted the experiment).
5. Graph of baseline & Treatment Data: A graph embedded into the paper with APA labels.
6. Summary of Treatment Observations: Clearly and completely, but concisely, verbally summarize the treatment of the target behavior and show the results of the experiment. Descriptions should be made of confounds (settings/stress/work/conflict) that conflict with the treatment, and stimuli that may have helped. Critically analyze the different data points for potential interpretations.
Note: This assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
