Assignment on Describing the function of the baseline behavior

This cumulative assignment allows you to consider everything you have learned over the past 5 weeks in an attempt to change a behavior of your own. This overall process is similar to what a board-certified behavior analyst would compete with a new client.

Refer to the approved behavior you would like to change, based on your submission to your instructor in Week 3.

Track baseline data over a 3-day period, using the .

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper that outlines an intervention plan for changing that behavior, in which you discuss the following:

• Describe the target behavior.
• Outline the dimensions of measurement/baseline measurement.
• Describe the function of the baseline behavior.
• Outline the goals of the behavioral change.
• Propose a behavior intervention plan based on goals.
  • Provide a minimum of 2 antecedent changes.
  • Provide 4 to 5 consequence modifications. Choose consequences based on at least four of the following: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, negative punishment, positive punishment, and extinction.
• Describe any potential barriers to treatment, as well as how you would overcome these barriers.
• Describe the expected outcome if the behavior intervention plan was implemented and followed.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

Submit your Baseline Data Worksheet along with your paper.

Track baseline data of your selected behavior that you would like to change over a 3-day period.

Use this information in your Self-Management Paper, due in Week 5.
