Question:
Albert is in third grade and has documented impulsivity issues in class. Develop a plan to teach Albert how to answer questions in class appropriately. He will currently shout out answers and if the teacher does not recognize these responses within 5-10 seconds he was observed as increasing his volume, waving his hands and even standing and yelling towards the teacher. If a student near him is selected, he will also talk over them at times during observation. Based on this scenario outline the following: (your response can be in an outline format but be sure to provide sufficient detail and explanation so that your plan is objective, measurable and most importantly, replicable across staff and settings - remember this is a 50 point assignment) 1. Discuss the current behavior in an operational manner (remembering response dimensions, etc.) (5 pts) 2. Identify an appropriate, socially significant and realistic replacement behavior (remembering response dimensions, etc.) (5 pts) 3. Describe the shaping procedure you will utilize, including a. Task analysis (5 pts) b. outline your Initial, Intermediate and Terminal behaviors (5 pts) c. the types of differential reinforcement in a replicable fashion based upon your TA, i. reinforcement protocols (explain why you are or are not using this) ii. punishment protocols (explain why you are or are not using this) (10 pts) d. operant levels for reinforcement and/or punishment (5 pts) e. are you utilizing a fixed or variable outcome shaping program and why? (5 pts) f. potential confounding variables? (5 pts) g. are there ethical concerns in regard to implementing this plan? (5pts)
