  • Title: Understanding Stimulus Classes and Response Patterns

    Complete the readings and the interactive learning activity before you attempt the discussion question.
    Stimulus events can be discussed in terms of their features and relationships to behavior (physical, temporal, & functional). Changes in stimuli occur both as antecedent and consequence events, which affect an individual’s response. Think about some of your own response patterns that occur. Within a specific example, identify a set of antecedent stimuli that would demonstrate a stimulus class that influences your response(s), clearly explaining what establishes those stimuli as a stimulus class. Next, discuss your current response(s) to that stimulus class that make up a functional or structural response. Are there other responses that would fit to create a response class? Finally, what specific environmental modifications could you make to alter the stimulus-response relationship?

  • “The Illusion of Control: Exploring the Theme of Systems in Charles Yu’s Short Story” One of the main themes in “Systems” by Charles Yu is the idea that humans have a false sense of control over their lives and the world

    Read the short story “Systems” by Charles Yu.  It can be found in the Short Stories folder in Unit 6.  Answer the prompt below.
    A theme is a main idea, lesson or meaning that a story communicates.  There can be more than one theme and the theme can be conveyed using any of the literary elements – symbolism, setting, character, dialogue, imagery, etc. Themes often attempt to tell us something about human nature—to present some universal truth about our experience and place in the world.

    Keep in mind that you are not being asked to summarize the story.  All of your classmates have read it as well.  Your job it to interpret the story–to explain what it means to you and how that meaning is conveyed.

  • “Exploring Counseling Theory and Application: A Comprehensive Research Paper”

    ntroduction to Counseling 
    Guidelines for Research Paper 
    General Information 
    The assignment is to write a 7-10 page typed research paper using APA style. The paper must contain at least 6 sources, no more than two of which can be Internet sources. If you are using an online version of a published journal, you do not have to count that as an Internet source. 
    For those of you unfamiliar with APA style there are online tutorials that may assist you. The site: Purdue OWL, is very helpful and easy to use. This site includes links to other references to APA style and sample APA papers. There are also copies of the APA Publication Manual in the library. For those of you who are Psychology majors, it would be in your best interest to purchase the publication manual – you will be using it a lot! 
    A Complete Paper Should Include 
    Title Page (includes header, p.#, running head, title, author and class) 
    Abstract (a one-paragraph summary [150-250 words] of what your paper is 
    about) 
    Body or Text (this is what I count in the 7-10 pages) 
    Reference Page (an alphabetized list of all the sources you used for the paper) 
    Topic 
    The topic of the paper must cover some aspect of counseling theory or its application. Do not merely write a biographical sketch of the founder of a theory or an overview of a theory we have discussed in class. A suggestion is to choose an approach or an issue and apply it to a particular situation. Some examples of this would be: 
    Using Reality Therapy with Adolescent Substance Abusers 
    Group Therapy Approaches to Helping Children of Divorce 
    Ethical Conflicts in Applying Confidentiality Guidelines 
    When to Refer, When Not To 
    Counseling Children with ADHD 
    Grief Counseling with Victims of “Downsizing” 
    These are some examples – this does not represent a total list of topics from which you can choose. Use your imagination and analytical skills, as well as your interests to develop a topic. If you get stuck and can not seem to find something to write about, or you have a topic but do not know if it is acceptable, consult with me and I will help you refine your choice. 
    Evaluation 
    The grading rubric can be found in iLearn. I DO count off for errors of grammar, style, spelling, sentence structure, etc., so write carefully and proof your paper well. I also know the content, many of the sources, and check the sources I do not know; so do not turn in inaccurate material and expect a good grade. It is in your best interest to familiarize yourself with the grading rubric and ask for clarification on any point you do not understand. 
    General Guidelines 
    Some general guidelines for APA style research papers are as follow: 
    Paper should be typed in 12-point serif font (such as Courier, Palatino or Times New Roman)
    Paper should have one-inch margins on all sides
    Each page should have a header (which is the first couple of words from your title – not your name!) placed ½ inch from the top of the page, starting at the left margin; the page number should appear in the header at the right margin. You will need to use your Header Function in order to make this work properly.
    EVERY source you use for the paper should be cited in the text using the (Author, Date) format
    The page number will be included in the citation if it is a direct quote
    you state an idea or provide information that is not common knowledge you MUST cite where it came from (otherwise it is plagiarism!)
    Quotes of 40 or more words need to be set apart as a block quote with the left margin indented 5-7 spaces
    Terms that are abbreviated are written out completely the first time they are used, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses, then always abbreviated thereafter
    For example: Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)
    There should be no one-sentence paragraphs
    Each and every citation used in the manuscript should be correctly noted in the References section
