Middle childhood is when children understand how they “measure up” in comparison to their peers. As the brain matures, children begin thinking logically, planning, evaluating, and applying strategies to solve problems. As we know, intelligence may be defined in many different ways. Answer the following questions in at least 150 words each question. Include at least ONE textual refrence from the sources posted.
1. Which theory of intelligence do you most agree with?
2. What types of “messages” would you emphasize to a school-aged child about intelligence, and what are some of the factors that can impact a child’s academic performance and beliefs about his or her potential to succeed out in the world?

Submission: Submit this assignment as a Microsoft Word or PDF file.

we explore another basic principle of behavior—punishment. Punishment decreases behavior. Many misconceptions about punishment exist, but when used correctly, it is an important part of the learning process. Punishment is a consequence that follows a behavior and decreases the future likelihood of that behavior occurring again. Decreasing problem behaviors is a common task for behavior analysts, so it is important to understand how punishment works.
For this assignment, complete the following:
Define both positive and negative punishment. Be sure to explain how they are similar and how they are different in your definitions.
Provide two real-world, detailed examples of how positive punishment could be used to decrease behaviors you would like to see occur less often. Also, provide two real-world, detailed examples of how negative punishment could be used to decrease behaviors you would like to see occur less often. For example, a parent may use negative punishment by removing television privileges when his or her child curses. Another parent may use positive punishment by requiring the child to write the sentence “I will use nice words” 100 times after cursing.
Be sure to label the three-term contingency in your examples.
Be sure to explain why the examples you chose illustrate that procedure.
Additional RequirementsYour assignment should also meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.

Introduction: Introduce the character you are writing on and summarize the plot
Symptoms & Diagnosis: What specific symptoms did the character experience in the movie? What diagnosis would you give them?

**First half of paper Discussion 7713:
Environmental Considerations
When designing a treatment plan, it is important to consider the client’s environment and preferences. For this discussion, provide examples of how you may need to adjust a behavior plan to address preferences or environmental constraints. Describe some ways you might attempt to determine client preferences and environmental constraints that could affect your plan.
**Second half of paper discussion survey of methods
Discuss your personal preference of organizing sources during a literature review: literature matrix or map? What aspects of either approach do you find helpful?
After completing the readings for this week, share which reading most interested you or you felt was most immediately relevant to your own professional or academic career.

The human brain develops in a specific sequence. The limbic system, or the seat of emotions and the experience of rewards, is said to be completely developed in early adolescence. However, the pre-frontal cortex, also called the judgment region, doesn’t finish developing until a person is an adult.
We could reasonably suggest that during the adolescent stage, it may be biologically difficult for a person to wrangle their emotions, impulses, and behaviors.
As a medical educator, how would you teach a group of parents about why their adolescent boys and girls are “acting out”?
In approximately 3 pages, create a “fact sheet” in MS Word that includes a chart, images, banners, tables, etc., that explains why adolescent children may be less logical and more emotional in their decision-making. As part of your fact sheet, include ideas on how parents can best support their teenager during this time.
Be sure that you use peer-reviewed research to support your 3-page handout.
Requirements
Length: 2.5-3 pages (not including title page or references page)
Includes engaging presentation elements (e.g., images, banners, tables)
Attributes proper credit to outside sources (due to the creative nature of this assignment, attribution may look different than it does in a standard essay; that is okay so long as you credit your source in such a way that your audience can easily track down the sources you reference)

Kindly, choose a BOOK that focuses on a student services issue in America. Whatever free book you find. Yes, I need to approve it first. Don’t pick an article or European topic, please. Upload bibliographic information and your rationale for book selection

Overview
Creating a plan for your career is like planning a journey. The more clearly you can envision the destination, the easier it is to lay out the path in front of you. Throughout Weeks 1–4, you explored your passions and interests in psychology in relation to the practitioner-scholar model. You also provided and received feedback to improve your ability to communicate your vision and relevant goals. This assignment asks you to now put your ideas together in your vision as a multicultural practitioner-scholar. The assignment also provides the opportunity to receive feedback from your instructor to help you further clarify your vision of your future in the field of psychology.

Sources: Locate at least three relevant scholarly sources. You will reference these to support your ideas.
Writing Your Paper: Be sure to comply with the requirements stated below. Your writing in this assignment should not just be a collection of notes, lists, or questions and answers. Instead, it should be a well-organized discussion that flows logically from one idea to the next.
