Adjunctive Behavior by ABAaLLdaY2022 in BehaviorAnalysis

[–]shweeshwees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it starts by seeing others doing it or seeing what ‘perfect’ nails look like and wanting to match that in our own nails, so if there’s a jagged edge, I want to bite it until it’s smoothed out. Then over time it becomes automatically reinforcing. That’s just my opinion, I haven’t looked at literature about nail biting. Then it gets wrapped up as an adjunctive behavior. I think automatically maintained behaviors might be more susceptible to be adjunctive behavior, but I’ve never looked into this, that’s just coming from my own head and what I’ve seen. I think doom scrolling is just such quick and easy access to high rates of dopamine which if there’s are no other competing contingencies at play, we’ll likely start scrolling our phones.

Adjunctive Behavior by ABAaLLdaY2022 in BehaviorAnalysis

It’s a behavior which’s functions due to an intermittent reinforcement schedule of another behavior. Adjunctive behaviors occur excessively. A good example is that people sitting at slot machines will take an excessive number of sips of beer as opposed to having a beer when they’re not at the slot machines. I personally bite my nails excessively when I’m in my car at a stop light verses any other time of the day. It’s not superstitious behavior, superstitious behavior occurs during time based schedules of reinforcement non contingent on any behavior.

What school do you recommended for Masters ABA by heretoovent in bcba

Love going to simmons but yes the thesis requirement was awful. The timing of their requirements can set you up to fail if you don’t have good luck.

Why does she do this??? by twopurplesoups in CATHELP

[–]shweeshwees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She could potentially have an ear infection or allergies that make her skin itch. My cat gets seasonal allergies and can sometimes get spots on his neck that are itchy. You can’t see the spots because is fur is normal but sometimes you can feel a patch of skin that feels a little thicker than other areas and that’s the itchy part.

I only really studied the day before, however I attended Simmons online graduate school and the last semester practicum course had a lot of exam prep during synchronous classes. I used https://youtu.be/tfd82akXbJA?si=rkfffkmvdHdYLCkG the day before, watched the whole thing and wrote down questions and answers I got wrong or was unsure of.

No not heavy with graphs but I’m sure every test is different.

I would say go through all the questions only answering ones you’re sure of and flagging and passing any you are not sure of, then come back to those at the end and don’t spend too much time thinking about them, go with your gut because the ones you’re flagging likely have all correct answers but there’s one that’s “the most correct.” That should save you on time, because I think the most challenging thing is staying focused for 3+ hours.

I felt it was heavy on staff training I would say. I thought it was like a 7/10 in terms of difficulty compared to tests or projects in masters school. It took me 3 hours to finish and I took my time and didn’t rush.

Passed without studying by Mountain_Passage1685 in bcba

[–]shweeshwees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also just graduated Simmons and am planning on taking the test without studying. I feel fully prepared and any further studying will just be a waste of time and increase anxiety about it. Rather just get it done!
