Category: Psychology

this is the continiuing assignment for the previous one you completed for me for psychology. This assignment is worth 30 points. To earn all 30 points you must create a word document and in it provide me with the approved topic for your APA paper and links to the three complete versions of the academic articles you plan on using for your paper. In addition, you must create short summaries of each academic article you plan on using. Each article link is worth 6 points and your summaries are worth 4 points each, adding up to 30 points in total. If your links do not work or are for non academic articles, you will not receive credit for them. Please make sure to look over any comments and feedback I provide you as this is meant to help you with your paper.

Prior to completing this assignment, read Chapters 7 and 8 in the textbook. Also review the reading from the chapter that covers the age group you have selected (review previous week’s reading or read ahead if you have chosen one of the adult life stages). This week, you will begin preliminary work on your final assignment in the course, Integrating the Field of Developmental Psychology: A Review of the Literature, which is due in Week 6. To begin, select an age group or developmental stage from the list below:
Infancy and toddlerhood (0–3 years)
Childhood (3–12 years)
Adolescence (13–18 years)
Young adulthood (18–40 years)
Middle–late adulthood (40 years and older)
In your paper:
Clearly identify the age group and developmental stage selected.
Describe the important physical, emotional, cognitive, and social features of that age group.
Analyze that developmental stage from the point of view of at least three developmental theorists (e.g., but not limited to the viewpoints of Piaget, Freud, Erickson, etc.).
Summarize the theory you find most useful to explain that developmental stage.
In writing your paper, support your selections and conclusions with reasoned arguments. A minimum of three peer-reviewed articles are required for this paper.

For this assignment, you will create an informative brochure for your new practice and include a Kaltura video sharing information about your practice. Get as creative as you would like — this is your business, and you want to engage your audience.
Read the following scenario, and then create your brochure and video recording using the instructions below the scenario.
You are a “shiny new” Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Just 5 days ago, you took your certification exam and received the news that you had passed. Since having a private practice has always been your dream, you have already set up your website and begun advertising.
The phone rings, and you answer, “Good morning, Behavior Improvement, Inc.”
The woman calling states that she has been trying to locate an ABA service provider who can work in the home with her 4-year-old son who has just recently been diagnosed with autism. She explains that she does not know how to deal with the tantrums, rigidity, and non-compliance. She asks, “Are you accepting new clients?”
You set up an appointment to meet at her home to discuss what ABA can do for her child and family. First, you prepare an informative brochure that you can leave with her and use in advertising your new practice. Then, create a video recording of your conversation with the woman, describing the information found on your brochure.
Part 1: Brochure
Your brochure should be, at minimum, a tri-fold document. You must use at least three academic references to support the assertions made in the brochure. Provide in-text citations in APA format. For this assignment, you will use the provided brochure template and provide a separate reference page from your brochure, in APA format, and on a Word document.
The following are items and/or questions you will want to address in your brochure on ABA services:
General ABA information
• Identify the differences between mentalistic and behavioral approaches to therapy.
• Discuss positive and negative reinforcement.
• Discuss the use of data collection to determine treatment effectiveness and modify behavior plans or skill programs.
• Discuss functional behavior assessments (FBA) and how this relates to individualizing treatment based on function.
• Discuss the importance of individualizing plans.
Specific information on services you provide at your organization:
• Do you offer home-based services? Do you offer office-based services? Where do you deliver your much-needed services?
• Do you offer training for parents, teachers, and others on behavior plan implementation and data collection?
• What payment options can you offer; what insurance do you accept; what payment plans can you work out?
• Provide a statement regarding the frequency and length of therapy sessions.
Ethical standards for ABA
Now that you have presented the ABA therapy process, or the ABA professional’s “operational definition” of services, it is time to discuss the ethical standards that guide your work with clients. This section is a good place in the brochure to include a non-discrimination statement (if you accept Medicaid, you will be required to include such language), languages you speak, and culture-sensitive approaches.
Utilize the BACB’s “Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts”
• Identify the ethical and professional standards of professional applied behavior analysis related to client services in the following areas:
o Professional competence
o Confidentiality and limits to confidentiality
• Explain how professional competence can be ensured.
• Discuss confidentiality and limits to confidentiality.

Each question/response should be more quality than quantity, but an example of a succinct post might be approximately 275 words, so your initial responses to the questions below should be approximately 500 words or less. This will require you to be thoughtful in your responses. 
All answers must be text-cited from books provided in attachements. 

Overview
Theorists have devised many ways to assess personality. The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is one of them. You will learn more about this test in the next module. For a little background, the TAT was designed to be a projective test where subjects are provided with intentionally vague or ambiguous images that require the use of the imagination to tell a story.
In this module, you will look at an image and tell the story of what you think is happening and take a mock TAT. There is no right or wrong answer. In the next module, we will use a psychoanalytic perspective to review your responses to the questions below from the psychoanalytic lens.
Prompt
Select an image from the Module One Journal Images Word document and use the Module One Journal Template Word Document to answer the following questions. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Identify the image (A–E) that you selected.
Describe what happened before the image was taken. Your response should be about 2 to 3 sentences in length.
Describe what is happening in the image. Your response should be at about 2 to 3 sentences in length.
Describe what the subjects are feeling or thinking in the image. Your response should be about 2 to 3 sentences in length.
Describe what will happen next. Your response should be about 2 to 3 sentences in length.
What to Submit
Submit your completed Module One Template.

Write a professional development briefing paper focused on how theories, principles, and evidence-based best practices related to problem-solving and creativity, decision-making and reasoning, and human and artificial intelligence can be applied in the context of a selected professional specialization.
Introduction
As a professional psychologist, you will need to review theory and research and use it as the basis to develop best practices. For this assessment, you will focus on the following topics:
Problem-solving and creativity.
Decision-making and reasoning.
Human and artificial intelligence.
Note: This assessment will be a briefing paper, not a presentation.
Scenario
Imagine you are now a professional psychologist working in the specialization that you aspire to. You are charged with creating professional development for an interdisciplinary team of professionals in your workplace on how theories, principles, and evidence-based best practices of cognitive and affective psychology can be used to help people in your work context.
Preparation
The third assessment focuses on problem-solving and creativity; decision-making and reasoning; and human and artificial intelligence. For context on these topics, read:
Introduction to Problem Solving and Creativity [PDF].
Introduction to Decision Making and Reasoning [PDF].
Introduction to Human and Artificial Intelligence [PDF].
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
What are obstacles and aids to problem-solving?
What strategies guide human decision-making and reasoning?
What is deductive reasoning? What facilitates and impedes its use?
What is inductive reasoning? What facilitates and impedes its use?
What other forms of reasoning are there?
How does expertise develop?
To what degree is human intelligence influenced by inherited or environmental factors?
What is groupthink? How does it affect decision-making, reasoning, and creativity?
How and to what extent does brain physiology and neuroscience help explain normality and abnormality in relation to decision-making and reasoning? Does this science point toward interventions that improve performance in decision-making and reasoning? What is creativity and how can it be enhanced?
How do emotions impact with problem­-solving, creativity, or intelligence?
What ethical issues might arise for a psychologist in connection with problem-solving, creativity, or intelligence?
Instructions
For this assessment, you will write a briefing paper focused on the following topics:
Problem-solving and creativity.
Decision-making and reasoning.
Human and artificial intelligence.
The following resource is required to complete the assessment.
APA Paper Template [DOCX].
You will complete this assessment by replacing all instructional and sample text with your own words. (An abstract is not required for this assessment.)
Remember, your briefing paper is for an interdisciplinary team, so it will be important to communicate in a manner that can be understood by a those not trained in psychology. Be sure to include plain language definitions of psychological terms used in the paper.
Contents of the Paper

Introduction
Briefly discuss in very general terms that how the three topics relate to each other and how they can be used to help people in your work context.
Topic Sections
The briefing paper will have three sections, each dedicated to one of the three topics. Within each section:
Analyze briefly the origins and evolution of each theory that you will reference in relation to the topic.
Explain how theories, principles, and evidence-based best practices related to the topic can be used to explain behavior and help people. Remember, these factors should be relevant to the context. For each of these:
Analyze how and to what extent brain physiology or neuroscience can provide an explanation of relevant phenomena.
Analyze how affective manifestations may impact cognitive performance.
Explain how theories and principles related to at least one of the topics in your paper apply to culturally diverse populations.
Explain one or more ethical issues that might arise in the application of theories and principles related to problem-solving, creativity, reasoning, or intelligence.

Writing Papers in APA Style
Note that your content starts on a new page. Do not write the word “Introduction.” Rather, rewrite your full title. You will want to provide a brief introduction of what the paper will address (a paragraph or two). Afterwards, you will present the biographical information that is relevant to you character you are evaluating. Even the biographical information needs to be cited. This will be a springboard of the 5 journal sources that follow. If you would like to use additional sources, you may. Next you will analyze you character from one of the eight models of personality. Please state how the character’s life was influenced by this perspective. Afterwards, you will analyze your character from a second model of personality. Additional sources can be, but are not limited to, the DSM-V, your textbook, etc. The body of the paper should be 3-5 pages long. Remember to paraphrase and cite within the text. As noted in class, the use of direct quotes is less preferable to paraphrasing. Please refer to the checklist for optimal performance. After you complete this portion of the paper, start your references on a new page. In total, the full paper should be anywhere between 5-7 pages (1 title page, 3-5 pages of content, and 1 reference page)
someone from a book or tv show has to be chosen for the character , this psych class is for personality, if needed I can send the personality that needs to be used for the paper.
