Running head: WEEK 3 ASSIGNMENT 1 WEEK 3 ASSIGNMENT 2 Week 3 Assignment-Case Study Mary Arterberry ABS 200: Introduction to Applied Behavioral Sciences Instructor: Amber Keele January 20, 2018 Week 3 Assignment: Case Study Selection The discussion will be based on case study #1 that centers on clinical psychology (major depressive disorder). From the case study, Joe is a victim of severe depression, a mental disorder that has been in his family but also attributed to the harsh situations he has been in such as losing his job, divorce and losing custody of his children. Depression is a serious mental disorder that is silently consuming a significant percentage of the world. “It encompasses the mood, thoughts, and body thus interfering with the day-to-day life of the victim” (Thiele, Laireiter, & Baumann, 2012). Depression can be looked at critically from a clinical psychology perspective regarding the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment. Clinical psychologists attribute depressive disorder to a number of factors. Cochran and Rabinowitz (2010) explain that there is no single cause of the mental condition, but it is as a result of a combination of biochemical, genetic, psychological, and environmental factors. This is a claim that is datable in the clinical psychology field where other psychologists explain some instances of depression can be as a result of a specific factor from the list of factors provided. This aspect of depression can be applied to Joe’s case – the fact that his biological parents and two of his uncles were victims of depression proves Joe’s condition is as a result of genetic attribution of the disorder – however, “the fact that his depression only manifested after him losing his job and being divorced is evident that depression is caused by a combination of factors as explained by Cochran and Rabinowitz” (2010). The advancement of technology in the clinical psychology field indicate that depression is a disorder of the brain. Technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used to image the brain reveal that parts of the brain responsible for mood, sleep, thinking, behavior, and appetite function abnormally. Depression is twice as common in women than in men implying that women suffer depression and are more likely to be depressed than men. Studies indicate that the lifecycle, biological, and hormonal changes among other factors in women is associated with their higher rates of depression. Depression can be cured in many ways including medication, herbal therapy, and psychotherapy. All the methods are effective, but the most recommended treatment method is psychotherapy that involves sessions between a depressed person and a psychotherapist for a defined period. The condition can also be managed from th ...

dannies7qbuggie

Week 3 Discussion The Discussions are not simply statements of opinion. They are intended to allow you to expand upon and apply the principles discussed in your textbook, the lectures, and/or other research you conduct. Each week a question will be posed for your consideration. Before answering, you should review the chapters covered during this week and the lectures. For the Week 3 discussion, please pick one of the topics below to discuss. Your initial post to the Week 3 discussion is required to be completed and posted by 11:59 p.m. ET Thursday . Your initial post is required to be at least 250 words and this MUST be in your own words. You are required to include at least one reference in your initial post with proper citation and this includes BOTH an in-text citation and a full citation reference at the end of the post. Do NOT use Wikipedia , Blurtit , Yahoo Answers or ANY open blog or ANY open source where anyone can post responses and the information is not verified. These are unacceptable academic resources; be sure to use reliable sources of information and research carefully. Also, do NOT copy and paste from the Internet.

The response posts should be at least 100 words and be substantive in nature. While pleasantries such as "I agree" or "great job" are nice, they will not count as one of your required posts. A complimentary, philosophical, or off-topic comment does not count as one of the three required entries. For example, it does not help us to tell us that you did not know something before you read an entry. All entries should help everyone understand one or more of the concepts presented. Your posts are required to be posted on at least 3 separate days with all being completed by 11:59 p.m. ET Sunday of Week 3 (the end of the week).

Motivational TheoriesMemory Acquisition Overview Write a 2-part.docx

jacmariek5

Motivational Theories/Memory Acquisition Overview Write a 2-part assessment in which you apply motivational theory and memory acquisition theory to behaviors. This assessment should be a minimum of 4 pages long. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Show More • Competency 1: Use information technology and tools to identify information in the domain of biological psychology. ▪ Describe potential changes from human design to consider if building a learning and memory system for a robot. • Competency 2: Employ critical and creative thinking to evaluate problems, conflicts, and unresolved issues in the study of biological psychology. ▪ Describe memory acquisition. • Competency 4: Assess the important theories, paradigms, research findings, and conclusions in biological psychology. ▪ Identify two common behaviors and hypothesize what might have prompted the behaviors from the perspective of each motivational theory. ▪ Discuss how people apply these different theories to influence behavior. • Competency 6: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats. ▪ Write coherently to support a central idea with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a psychology professional. ▪ Use APA style and format. Context Motivational Theories Motivation refers to the set of factors that initiate, sustain, and direct behaviors. Several motivation theories, including instinct theory, drive theory, incentive theory, and arousal theory have been widely applied in psychological practice where they are linked to other theories. For example, recent attachment theory studies examined the circumstances surrounding motivation and behavior in adolescents. In medical practice, drive theory is combined with neuroendocrine theory to understand the relationship between homeostasis and hunger. Understanding the neurobiology of hunger and appetite may ultimately lead to treatments for obesity and eating disorders. Show More Emotion Emotion is an increase or decrease in physiological activity that is accompanied by feelings that are characteristic of the emotion and often accompanied by a characteristic behavior or facial expression. According to the James-Lange theory, emotional experience results from the physiological arousal that precedes it, and different emotions are the result of different patterns of arousal. According to Schachter and Singer's cognitive theory, physiological arousal contributes only to the emotion's intensity, while the identity of the emotion is based on the cognitive assessment of the situation. Memory Acquisition Anterograde amnesia refers to impairment in forming new memories, while retrograde amnesia is the inability to remember events prior to impairment. Anterograde and retrograde amnesia are common learning and memory disorders. They have been linked to damage in certain brai.

The Mouse Party Access the Mouse Party interactive module. Select one mouse, influenced by the drug of your choice, and complete the simulation by viewing all of the relevant slides. Next, perform a web search on the drug you selected and locate additional resources that will help you answer the following: · Briefly describe why you chose this drug and how many people are estimated to be using/abusing it. · Explain how the drug influences both the brain and behavior. · Discuss what you think (if anything) needs to be done to combat addiction to this substance and provide a rationale for your position. Your initial post must be a minimum of 200 words and utilize at least two scholarly source (e.g., the course textbook, a peer-reviewed article from the Ashford University Library, or a professional web source), cited according to APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Sensation and Perception This discussion has two options. Select one of the options and indicate which one you chose in your response. Option A: Recruit someone you trust to help you. Have them prepare two items for you to taste (tell them to be nice), but do not let them tell you what they are. While they are preparing the items, find something to use as a blindfold and plug your nose so you cannot smell. You should not be able to see or smell the food while sampling it. As you chew, see if you can recognize the flavor. If not, unplug your nose and see if that helps you detect it. If that doesn’t work, take off the blindfold and see if you can identify it. Once you have completed this activity, provide an analysis by sharing the following as you respond: · Were you able to determine the food without smell or sight? · At what point did you identify the food (e.g., blindfolded with nose plugged, blindfolded with nose unplugged, or neither)? · Analyze the relationship between taste and smell. · Analyze the relationship between taste and sight. Option B: Explain the processes involved in how one senses the world around them (sight, touch, hearing, etc). If you had to give up one, which would it be? Why? What in your life (think about home, work, school) would be impacted by this lack of sense? How does perception influence your sensory systems? Your initial post must be a minimum of 200 words and utilize at least one scholarly source (e.g., the course textbook, a peer reviewed article from the Ashford University Library, or a professional web source), cited according to APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Assignment Surveys and Response RatesAs you read in Chapter 1, .docx

rock73

Assignment: Surveys and Response Rates As you read in Chapter 1, research designed to assess and answer questions about the current state of affairs is descriptive research. It is called descriptive research because no variables are manipulated (as you would find in an experimental research design). Rather, the goal of descriptive research is to provide a snapshot of thoughts, beliefs, or behaviors of groups of people at a given time. One common type of descriptive research is survey research. A survey is a type of self-report measure that can be administered either through an interview or written questionnaire. Interviews are surveys in which researchers read questions to participants either in person or by telephone. The questions are either structured or unstructured. When using a structured interview technique, the researcher predetermines the questions to ask participants and records their responses. An example of a structured interview technique is a phone call during the evening at home requesting a “few minutes of your time” to ask your opinions about candidates in an upcoming political election. In an unstructured interview, the researcher asks the respondents to talk freely about a particular topic and records their answers. An example of an unstructured interview technique is a focus group setting, wherein a number of people meet at the same time to share their thoughts and opinions about a particular topic, such as their emotional reactions to viewing advertising campaigns. Questionnaires are different from interviews because participants complete these assessments on their own, and usually without supervision. The other difference is that participants complete questionnaires in a fixed-format. This means participants answer questions in the exact same order and select their answers from various response choices provided (e.g., multiple choice or true/false) rather than freely reporting what comes to mind. An example of a questionnaire is a poll located in a magazine questioning you about your present satisfaction in your romantic relationship. Consider the last time you were asked to complete a survey either by interview or questionnaire. Did you participate? Why, or why not? Though survey methods are a good way to collect a lot of data quickly, participants are not always eager to take the time and effort required to complete them. For this Assignment, you select a particular survey method to collect data on a study idea. You analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the method and consider strategies for increasing participant response rates. To prepare Review again the assigned pages from Chapter 6 and Chapter 8 of your course text. Think about the study idea that you developed for the Discussion this week. Think about what types of data you would collect utilizing various survey methods (e.g., interviews and questionnaires, focus groups). Consider strategies researchers use to attempt to increase the participant response ...

Research Topics Consciousness Psychology The consciousness psychological topic interest me because it dives into what happens with our brain during sleep and hypnosis. It also discusses the affect that psychoactive drugs can have on us physically and mentally. It is interesting to see how the brain can be altered by taking certain drugs to change how we feel all with just a simple change of a few chemicals. How does this all take part in to psychology? I think there is so much learn from this and how it can affect people on a daily basis. Developmental Psychology One of the fascinating things about developmental psychology is how your brain and thought process changes throughout all the different stages of life. How is it that certain behaviors and abilities can develop so quickly while others take so much longer? It is thought-provoking to see how and when these take place. Is it genetic factors or external surroundings that cause differences in some of these? It definitely excites me to see all of the different theories out there that surround this. Mental Health Mental health has definitely come to the forefront in today’s society. I believe a lot of this has to do with how quickly information can spread due to social media. How do mental disorders change the way people think? Is it as simple as changing to a healt ...

Track and Topic Sociocultural Influences: social and cultural contributions to the development of psychological disorders Article #1 1. What is the title of the article? Provide a reference for the article in APA format. Mueller, D. R., Schmidt, S. J., & Roder, V. (2013). Integrated psychological therapy: effectiveness in schizophrenia inpatient settings related to patients' age. The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 21(3), 231-241. 2. What is the purpose of the article? The article investigated whether the Integrated Philological therapy is more effective in younger patients of ages 40 and above. The authors then compared the effectiveness of IPT of young patients with that of average years of 40 and above. The study also investigated whether treatment as usual or unspecified group activities produce different outcomes. 3. What is the hypothesis of the study? In other words, what claims do the authors make in the article? What are the outcomes of the study, that is, the conclusions that the authors made as a result of the study? There are no differences in the effectiveness of Integrated Psychological therapy between a group of younger patients (age 40 and below) and that of the average years (ages 40 and above). The study also hypothesized that there no differences in the treatment outcome of the group of younger patients (age 40). The study also assessed there were differences in the treatment outcome of the group of older patients (age 40 and above) treated using specified and unspecified treatment. 4. What variables (factors) are being looking at as an influence on abnormal behavior? The study investigated the influences of age (variable) and the use of Integrated Psychological Treatment on the treatment of schizophrenia. Another variable was the treatment options (Unspecified and Specified treatment). Other variables include the global cognitive scores, social cognition, psychopathology and social functioning. 5. If these variables or the relationship between these variables have been studied before, what have other studies found? This shows historical significance. Past studies have shown the effect of age on Schizophrenia. Older people suffering from Schizophrenia often suffer from cognitive impairment compared to younger patients. There are fewer therapy approaches to middle and averagely mentally ill patients. 6. Describe the research design (e.g., descriptive, correlateional, experimental) that was used in the study. Standard meta-analytical procedures. The study compared category of two age groups. Had a total of 15 IPT controlled studies with 632 schizophrenic patients. 7.
