Discussion #2: Social Media

Questions: Is social media a huge “time vacuum,” a beneficial communication tool, or some combination of the two? Additionally, some consider the new social media an extension of the very old oral form of communication. Do you agree or disagree with this view? Why or why not? by 11:59 pm (Sun) of May 26.

Define each of the differential reinforcement procedures, noting how the two components of each procedure affects the occurrence of problem and desired behaviors. Then, choose a personal behavior, or the behavior of someone in your environment (maintaining confidentiality, of course!). Choose a Differential Reinforcement procedure and explain how you would apply that procedure to decrease the problem behavior and increase a desired behavior, taking into consideration the thoughts on schedules of reinforcement or matching law covered last week.

In this module, there are 4 short videos. Watch each video. Then on a Word document, I want you to summarize what you learned in each video in a bulleted format. Do this by putting headings that represent the numbers of the video (e.g., Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, Video 4). 
Then under each video in a bulleted format put the following:
Two important specific things/concepts that you learned in each of the videos. You should have a total of 8 things that you learned. Make sure that some of your points relate to (a) the rationale for the models, (2) a description of some model components,
plus,
As a future teacher, tell me one thing you would like to know about your future practice based on each video 
Attach the completed Word document and submit it. Please double-space your answers.

In 1974, B. F. Skinner published About Behaviorism and more fully developed the concepts of radical behaviorism, with emphasis on the importance of seeking to identify observable and measurable environmental events, rather than mentalistic constructs, to explain all behavior, including internal behaviors (such as thinking) which could not be directly observed. This further solidified the approach that continues to guide inquiry and practice in applied behavior analysis to this day.
To prepare for this discussion, please review the assigned readings in this unit and select one of the scenarios below:
Scenario 1
Olivo is a 15-year-old who acquired a brain injury in a car accident. Prior to the injury, Olivo functioned typically for his age and was a sophomore in high school. He had no significant academic or behavioral challenges at home or at school. Since the accident, there have been notable changes in function and behavior. Olivo is easily frustrated when he cannot have what he wants and often becomes anxious. He has limited tolerance for waiting. Sometimes, Olivo decides to have a tantrum to get his way. The therapist working with Olivo has suggested that, when he is anxious or frustrated, his parents show him cards with his favorite items and have him point to what he wants. Olivo does not seem to like the cards because when they are presented, he throws them.
Define methodological behaviorism, as described by B. F. Skinner.
Next, define radical behaviorism, as described by B. F. Skinner, and differentiate it from methodological behaviorism.
Based on the scenario you selected:
Identify whether the description of the case and the suggestions for treatment are representative of a radical behavioral approach. Why or why not?
In your analysis, identify at least three of the mentalistic terms and conceptualizations in the case scenario and present an alternative.
What explanatory terms need clearer definition?
How could this case study be reframed to constitute explanation and intervention in more behavioral terms (i.e., with a focus on observable and measurable causes of behavior that are found in the environment)?
