study: Self-Injurious Behavior in Older Adults with Intellectual Disabilities.pdf
Select a research study from the Kaplan Library that
documents the use of applied behavior analysis in an attempt to change
or modify behavior. Make sure that you select an article that has a
graph that effectively shows the data in the results section of the
article. Describe the principle of parsimony and how this particular
research study fares in meeting the four different criteria of
parsimony: (a) brevity, (b) assumptions, (c) observables, and (d)
generalities. Evaluate the data and discuss how the type of graph or
chart that is used (e.g., scatter plot, line graph, cumulative record,
etc.) enables the researcher to convey overall patterns of behavior. Do
certain types of graphs or charts lend themselves to parsimony more so
than others? If so, which ones and why?
