M2 – Discussion Post – Write a scriipt In this week’s reading, the texts explain the basic elements of a distributive bargaining situation. Recall a negotiation situation in which you participated that illustrates a distributive bargaining situation. Create a video submission that includes the following:Brief explanation of the negotiation situation.Illustrations of the basic distributive bargaining elements present within the situation.Identify the strategies and tactics mentioned in the text that you used and that the other party used. Assignment At the top of this discussion board, you will see which role you have been assigned either GTechnica (Seller) or AccelMedia (Buyer). Your professor will post confidential information to this discussion board for you to complete the activity. Do not communicate on this board, you are simply receiving your information here. *If you have been assigned to a group of three, work together when negotiating with the opposing party.To get started, begin negotiations in M2 Assignment 1: GTechnica—AccelMedia Negotiation Table.

Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers, at least of one whom was assigned a different age group than you, by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in this discussion. Be sure to review the assigned articles before constructing your reply.
Which of the assessment instruments presented by your classmate demonstrates the strongest validity, and which (if any) do not show strong validity for the age group being discussed? Were there appropriate age, socioeconomic, language, and/or cultural considerations your classmate did not mention but should have been included in her or his initial post? What ethical consideration(s), in addition to those mentioned by your classmate, might you recommend be included? Provide a rationale for the inclusion of these considerations. Use information from the required resources as well as any other appropriate peer-reviewed articles to support your statements. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.

The professor said that I dont have the right citation and references. Additionally she said that it is plagiarize in some areas. The professor wants a 100% on my paper.

This week, we covered a wide swath of women’s experiences since the end of World War II (1945) as well as contemporary women’s experiences in communities around the world. Based on what you read in Smith and the World Economic Forum article, what did you find to be the most surprising differences between women then and now? What about between women in various parts of the world?
Did this week’s reading change any of the beliefs you had about women worldwide? Was your idea of women’s status in the US, compared to other women worldwide, changed?

For this assignment, you will submit an initial publish of your final project Discussion section. This section should recap your findings, discuss how the findings fit in with prior research on the topic, discuss areas for future research, and mention limitations and ethical considerations related to your research. It is essential that you follow APA style when writing this section.
The prior milestone documents are attached below Note that The methods and results should be in past tense because you already collected the data and did the statistical analysis.

Begin by conducting a Folsom Lake College Library online database search about a topic in Child Development that you would like to explore for your Interview Paper. If you click on the link to the Folsom Lake College Library in the navigation bar at the left side of your course home page in Canvas, you will discover many online databases from which to search for your research articles. Some possible topics students might conduct a search for include the following: Childbirth; childbirth across cultures; twins or multiple births; children of divorce; children and poverty; effects of foster care; raising children with special needs; blended families; multi-ethnic families; adoption; prenatal development; home schools; private schools; public schools; preschool; eating disorders; childhood illness; birth order effects; discipline methods; parenting approaches; the role of grandparents; the role of extended families; the effects of urban, rural or suburban life on children’s play; and child care. Or, create your own!
After choosing a topic and conducting the Folsom Lake College Library search, write your chosen topic at the top of the page under your title. (Annotated references on the topic of the importance of pets during childhood). Write your references using the American Psychological Association (APA) style of references. The Folsom Lake College Library Databases provide the references in APA style for you. Just go to your article and look for the word “cite.” Click on it and a list of references styles will appear. Choose the one that says, APA. For additional examples of how to write them, see Purdue Owl Links to an external site.. This website will also cite them for you. Once there, you will see examples given of the various ways to write references. Most of you will probably use one of the following: an article from an online periodical; an article from an online periodical with no DOI assigned; an article from a database; a newspaper article; or a non-periodical web document. The Folsom Lake College Library will provide you with the URL (link). Just go to your article and look for the term “permalink” and click on it. Make sure that you can open all of the URL’s that you have included as a part of the references. What is a URL? It is the web address. URL’s that do not open will have points deducted. In other words, your URL’s should be hyperlinked. You can tell that URL’s are hyperlinked when they appear to be blue. I am only able to open databases from the Folsom Lake College Library, so do not include databases from other institutions such as the Sacramento State University databases, as they require a password.
Along with the references, a summary of each of the references is required. Three points of information that were new or helpful to you should be described in a minimum of 250 words for each of the 5 summaries. The total word count for the paper should be a minimum of 1250 words. The summaries of the articles must be in your own words.
Remember that this assignment will help you to be a more informed researcher when it comes to conducting the interviews for your interview paper. Choose a topic that will capture your interest!

This assignment assesses your progress in mastering the following course competencies:
*Evaluate theoretical principles and research that inform instructional strategies.
*Communicate in a professional manner consistent with the field of behavior analysis.

Generalization and discrimination and stimulus control add tremendously to the survival value of learning because environments are always changing. Generalization is the tendency for the effects of learning to spread. In a classic study, Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968) identified terminology for the ways a behavior may show generality:
<
<
Across settings and situations known as stimulus generalization, and occurs when responses that have been reinforced in the presence of a specific stimulus occur in the presence of different, but similar stimuli (also referred to as a stimulus class). An example: When your cell phone rings (the stimuli) you have learned to answer the phone by saying “Hello.” At work, the phone on your desk has a different ring tone and when it rings you also pick up the receiver to answer and say “Hello.” The different types of ring tones all belong to the same stimulus class.
<
Across behaviors known as response generalization, and occurs when a similar but different response generalizes and spreads across environments or behaviors. For example, you learn to play and navigate a video game with a joystick controller at an arcade. Later you learn to play the same game on your computer at home, but instead of using a joystick controller to navigate you use your computer keyboard and mouse.
<
Over time known as response maintenance, which is the process of continuing to exhibit a behavior. This is essentially the opposite of forgetting
<
It is often mistakenly assumed that generalization is an automatic phenomenon, or that behavior will be learned vicariously from observing other’s engaging in behaviors. Parents, teachers, trainers, and managers, for example, need to be aware of the importance of having people perform a skill a number of times in a number of different situations. For example, a child who has learned to stop and look both ways before crossing a street may nevertheless run into the street after a ball. The idea is that reinforcement strengthens a response class, and not just a specific response. When the response class becomes too large it can result in stimulus overgeneralization. This occurs when similar, but distinct stimuli elicit the same response.
<
<
How do we learn to produce a certain behavior in presence of one stimulus (i.e., stop in front of a red sign versus a green one)? We do this through stimulus discrimination, which is the tendency for a behavior to occur in certain situations (i.e., in the presence of certain stimuli) but not in others (in the absence of the stimuli). As such, discrimination training can be viewed as the process of defining a response class. Using a stimulus discrimination technique, B. F. Skinner (1951) once taught pigeons to “read.” The pigeons would peck a disk when a sign read, “Peck,” and would not peck when a sign read “Don’t peck. Another example of stimulus discrimination is being able to recognize when people are lying from their facial expressions and other body language.
<
<
The term stimulus control is used in stimulus discrimination training and refers to the increased tendency to behave a certain way in one situation but not in another. For example, an individual operating a motor vehicle will usually stop at all red traffic lights, and this tendency is clearly a function of reinforcing and punishing consequences (i.e., increased likelihood that he won’t get into an accident, or get a traffic ticket for running a red light), but the individual can proceed through a red light, and might deliberately do so under certain circumstances (e.g., because he is already late to work).
<
<
Behavior change and skill acquisition programs are designed to develop, or increase, the frequency of target behaviors. However, engaging in a behavior now does not necessarily mean that the behavior will continue in the future. Similarly, engaging in a behavior in one setting does not mean that it will occur in other settings. Research has demonstrated that if you do not deliberately plan for learned behaviors to be generalized and maintained they are not likely to happen. For this Assignment, you will explore and apply techniques for generalizing and maintaining behaviors.
<
<
Consider the relations between generalization, discrimination, and stimulus control.
<
Next, read the assigned Steeg and Sullivan (2009) article about the strategies and procedures for increasing generalization such as sequential modification, training sufficient exemplars, train loosely, etc., and for monitoring generalization.
<
Examine your own experiences from when you were a high school student and identify factors that worked well for you in maintaining academic behaviors.
<
Read the following scenario:
<
<
Hazel, a 16-year old high school student, is given plenty of time in her English Composition class to work on writing. However, she usually does not complete her writing assignment within the time allotted during the class period. She rarely completes her English composition homework either.
<
<
Engaging your knowledge of principles of reinforcement and punishment, consider the concepts of generalization, and propose a strategy from the Steege and Sullivan (2009) reading that could increase Hazel’s English composition classwork completion and homework completion behaviors.
<
Once Hazel increases her English composition classwork completion and homework completion, think about concepts related to stimulus control and stimulus discrimination consider how Hazel will maintain the positive behavior changes, and how the changes could be applied to other subjects, such as math.
<
Drawing on your reading of the Steege and Sullivan (2009) article and textbook, complete the following:
<
<
Explain at least one strategy for programming generalization (e.g., sequential modification, training sufficient exemplars, train loosely, etc.) that could increase Hazel’s English composition classwork and homework completion.
<
Considering the concepts of stimulus control and stimulus discrimination, explain how Hazel will maintain the positive behavior changes, and how the changes could be applied to other subjects, such as math.

Your research study proposal will require you to describe the research methods and procedures you intend to use to conduct the study. This section of your proposal will combine information gathered from two items: a needs assessment and a program evaluation. You will begin the needs assessment this week and complete it in Week 6, then write a program evaluation in Week 7.
A needs assessment will help you collect valuable information about any population you are studying.
A program evaluation will use the needs assessment you’ve created to help you formulate a plan for assessing your study proposal.
Based on the above information….
Using your research topic and/or question and the literature you have collected for your research study proposal, prepare for an interview where you can connect with someone in the field who is familiar with your topic. Follow these steps:
Read existing literature related to the research study proposal you have selected to be prepared to have a dialogue on the topic.
Identify professionals in the helping profession who may be available for an interview to informally chat about your topic. Reach out to these individuals to find someone who is available and willing to set up a time to speak to you.
Prepare to ask the following questions to the professional:
What is the single most pressing need individuals have in this community or with this concern?
How are these needs currently being addressed, if at all?
What could be done better to serve these individuals or community?
Be sure to provide the professional with the University of Phoenix Interview Consent Form prior to conducting the interview AND turn this in for Week 6 Needs Assessment Part 2.
Submit the following attestation statement for your assignment: “I, (insert name), attest that I am preparing to complete the interview with a professional in the field who will sign the consent for me to submit in Week 6 and am aware this is a part of my assignment for Week 6 Needs Assessment Part 2.”
