Adaptive behavior refers to behaviors that allow individuals to survive and thrive through avoiding dangers, taking reasonable safety precautions, and adapting to both good and adverse environments and circumstances. It involves appropriate responses to immediate surroundings and probable future environments while accounting for a person's physical context and cultural demands. Adaptive behavior is assessed based on age-appropriate performance rather than ability and considers the consequences, context, frequency, and severity of behaviors as well as the status of the person being evaluated. Common assessment tools like the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales measure communication, daily living skills, social skills, physical activity, and maladaptive behaviors through caregiver reports and surveys.

Strategy Sessions: Set up for success with formative assessmentsLearningandTeaching
Assessment is an integral part of the teaching and learning process. Students tend to work harder when grading is involved, which can consequently cause anxiety and stress. However, assessment should not only be about the grade awarded but also about providing feedback which aims to identify strengths and areas of improvement.
Assessment can refer to the measurement of students’ learning when addressing a task (summative assessment). It can also evaluate understanding during instruction for the purpose of learning (formative assessment). Although both types of assessment differ in their meaning and purpose, formative assessment enhances learning and better prepares students for summative assessment.
In this recording, Kari Qasem looks at how to best incorporate formative assessments in teaching. She also highlights the benefits of this type of assessment in helping students achieve learning goals and in assisting teachers with post-marking feedback.
Illness as a stress and coping with illness is the topic of this power point presentation and it includes the descriptions of stress, stress in acute and chronic illnesses and stress in terminal illness.
I think it will be useful to public, medical students and doctors as well.
Behavioural Meetup: Perceptions of and behavioural responses to climate change.Poppy Mulvaney PhD
Our February Behavioural Meetup featured Prof. Lorraine Whitmarsh from the University of Cardiff:
Despite scientific consensus about the reality and severity of climate change, the public appears to show relatively little concern about the issue and to be taking few actions to tackle it. In this talk, we will discuss what influences public perceptions and how they may be shaped by communication. Recent survey and interview data, and findings from psychological experiments will be used to expose the strong ideological and social influences on public attitudes to climate change. Research will also be presented on low-carbon lifestyles, along with insights into fostering behaviour change, including new research to achieve behavioural ‘spillover’ (i.e., when changing one behaviour leads to further behavioural changes).

Adaptive response surface by kriging using pilot points for structural reliab...IOSR Journals
Structural reliability analysis aims to compute the probability of failure by considering system uncertainties. However, this approach may require very time-consuming computation and becomes impracticable for complex structures especially when complex computer analysis and simulation codes are involved such as finite element method. Approximation methods are widely used to build simplified approximations, or metamodels providing a surrogate model of the original codes. The most popular surrogate model is the response surface methodology, which typically employs second order polynomial approximation using least-squares regression techniques. Several authors have been used response surface methods in reliability analysis. However, another approximation method based on kriging approach has successfully applied in the field of deterministic optimization. Few studies have treated the use of kriging approximation in reliability analysis and reliability-based design optimization. In this paper, the kriging approximation is used an alternative to the traditional response surface method, to approximate the performance function of the reliability analysis. The main objective of this work is to develop an efficient global approximation while controlling the computational cost and accurate prediction. A pilot point method is proposed to the kriging approximation in order to increase the prior predictivity of the approximation, which the pilot points are good candidates for numerical simulation. In other words, the predictive quality of the initial kriging approximation is improved by adding adaptive information called “pilot points” in areas where the kriging variance is maximum. This methodology allows for an efficient modeling of highly non-linear responses, while the number of simulations is reduced compared to Latin Hypercubes approach. Numerical examples show the efficiency and the interest of the proposed method.
Increasingly, we are interacting with people from different cultural groups – both globally and domestically.
These interactions can be difficult because our different cultural influences shape how we each understand the world around us.
The ADAPT Cycle is a change process aimed at helping you analyze and modify your behaviours when working across cultures.
