Description
This is an Applied Behavioral Science project.
I want someone to write a research proposal paper that is a systematic replication of a previous behavioral research study that used a single-subject research design. (I provide the article and the changes that I need below) You should conduct a systematic replication of the article. The written research paper must follow the format recommended by the American Psychological Association (see Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition). The paper should include:
(a) A brief Introduction (i.e., a literature review, justification, and rationale for the experiment)
(b) Method
(c) Results
(d) Discussion
(e) References
(f) Figure/s (hypothetical graphs made in Microsoft Excel).
The text of the paper should not exceed 2,000 words. See the “brief report” or “report” articles published in JABA for an example of a short research paper.
The paper must be a “new” paper (i.e., it has not been turned in elsewhere for another course).
Your study cannot just be an increase in the number Of participants or using participants of different ethnic backgrounds, genders, or ages. Something about the procedures needs to change. See the limitations of the study in the Discussion section of the publication you are extending for ideas as to what you can do differently from the original article. Your study must use one of the following single-subject research designs:
- ABAB
- Multiple-baseline (across participants, setting, or behaviors) this is the change in my paper
- Changing criterion
- Multielement
- A combination of 1-4
This is the changes that I need (I already sent this to my professor, and he approved it)
In this study, the researchers taught children with autism to discriminate against the consequences applied to the behavior of a model.
Limitation :generalization,
Change the study to:
- Multiple baseline design across participants.
- Conduct the study with 10 reinforced and 10 nonreinforced responses. If more stimuli were used in the discrimination training sessions generalization may have occurred.
- Conducted training and generalization sessions together. It might be the case Doing so may more closely associate the generalization stimuli with the discriminative stimuli used during discrimination training, leading to greater generalization.
