Cindy Martinez University of the People PSYC 1111 – Unit 3 – Learning Journal According to the reading in the textbook, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a technique, often used to “reinforce positive behaviors and punish unwanted behaviors” and is one of the most common tools used in the field of autism (OpenStax College, 2014). However, ABA is a controversial therapy to use in the field of autism with many former recipients of ABA arguing against the use of ABA on the basis that it is harmful to children who are being forced to change in order to become ‘normal’ (Devita-Raeburn, 2016). Unfortunately, ABA has a long history and is covered by most health insurances unlike other more recent therapies in the field of autism. This often makes
What exactly is psychology? While it may seem like a very basic question, it is one of the most common questions asked by students new to the study of psychology. During your first lecture of an introductory psychology class, your instructor might spend some time going around the room asking students to explain what they think psychology involves. During my first psychology class, one girl made a dramatic point of waving her fingers over another student's head and pretending to read his thoughts. Unfortunately, such misconceptions about psychology abound and part of the confusion stems from stereotyped portrayals of psychologists in popular media as well as the diverse careers paths of those holding psychology degrees.
According to Sperry & Sperry (2012), Cognitive –Behavioral case conceptualizations include a clinical, cultural, and treatment formulation that emphasize signature elements such as predisposition (maladaptive cognitions/behaviors), treatment goals, treatment focus, treatment strategy and treatment interventions. In efforts to demonstrate an example of a Cognitive – Behavioral case conceptualization statement, Client A is presented. Client A is a 9 year old female Caucasian, 4th grader.
The behaviors that shown by JA bring into mind the theories of behavioral theory, cognitive behavioral theory, and ecological theory. The behavioral theory based on the type of behavior and actions that are observed from JA. Cognitive behavioral theory when in the perspectives of others, JA immediately reacts by expressing himself through his words and actions. The ecological theory consists of JA and his interaction with individuals and his environment. These theories revolving around the actions and behavior JA shows in school.
For TMA01 I will discuss the concept of childhood studies and child psychology and how this has changed over time and over different societies. I will also be looking at the different sociological and anthropological perspectives of childhood. I will use these to understand children’s experiences to gain more knowledge of childhood. I will also look at how limits off childhood have emerged over time and how these have influenced our knowledge and understanding of children’s lives. Childhood studies focus on children’s lives from the ages of 0-18 years of age.
Cognitive Behavioral Psychology is based on the theory that a person’s thoughts are the main cause of his/her external actions as well as his/her emotions. This branch of psychology focuses on the present and not stressing over the past and future. It relates to the id, ego, and superego science of the brain, therefore supporting the statement that thoughts are the most influential cause of a person’s behavior. In Inside Out, Riley, the main character, is the only child of a family that just moved away from the home in Minnesota to their new home in San Francisco, thus causing the rise of sadness. Consequently, the movie portrays how Riley’s dynamic thoughts change her behavior throughout the movie.
The Socio-behaviorist theory (behaviorism) Socio-behaviorists often study how children 's experiences model their behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Behaviorism believes that what matters is not the development itself, but the external factors that shape children 's behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). This theory demonstrates that teachers and mentors dominate and instruct child-related activities, and they decide what children should learn and how to learn (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Reinforcement, which is an essential factor that helps children to learn particular behaviors, generally refers to rewards and punishments (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Children are more likely to repeat actions that result in receiving praise; in contrast, they may ignore or abandon behaviors that make them get punishment.
These approaches are modern-day behaviorism, rational emotive behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, and reality therapy. Each one of these forms of therapy make up what we now as the cognitive behavior approaches. These approaches were developed by men like Albert Ellis, Aaron Beck, and William Glasser. The cognitive-behavioral therapies are meant to be a short term treatment. It is goal orientated, and a pretty hands on approach.
Paper 1: BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION Becky Templin Clovis Community College February 17, 2018 Introduction The theory behind behavior modification ethics has a reputation for its accomplishments and disappointments. In addition to this, there are many dangers in using physical punishment as behavior modification with the two primary modifiers of behavior being Classical conditioning and Operant conditioning. The outcome of using negative reinforcement has its share of benefits and downfalls in human behavior whereas; positive reinforcement seems to win over.
In Myer’s book of Social Psychology the concept of empathy, which is defined as “the vicarious experience of another’s feelings; putting oneself in another’s shoes” relates to the main points of the studies. When examining this relationship one can see the contributions it has in the study. These contributions can be reflected in the rational behind the individuals’ offensive action. If one can see why the so-called offender participated in the offensive action, one might be more likely to either forgive or not to forgive depending how their empathy influenced the internal beliefs. Another contribution empathy has upon the study its correlational relationship it has with attraction.
Corinne Kamrar fMRI 204566178 Whether or not neuroimaging, more specifically functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), informs cognitive theories is investigated through two opposing views. Max Coltheart argues, cognitive neuroimaging lacks the ability to inform cognitive theory and therefore does not contribute to the study of cognition. In other words, cognitive theory informs neuroimaging and not the other way around, such that, neuroimaging informs cognitive theory. Contradicting Coltheart’s view on cognitive neuroimaging, Mara Mather, John Cacicppo, and Nancy Kanwisher agree that an abundance of knowledge can be obtained from fMRI’s and therefore influence cognitive theories.
John B. Watson Theory of behaviorism: The term behaviorism refers to the school of psychology founded by John B. Watson based on the belief that behaviors can be measured, trained, and changed. Behaviorism was established with the publication of Watson 's classic paper, Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It (1913). Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment.

As it is not a must for learners to learn.
Although it is important to learn new things, the new material learned is not as important as the process of learning itself. In the process of learning, one’s mind is transformed and engaged. They will be introduced to new things and their ideas and thinking will be changed forever. When learning new things, seeing the value of things become
