• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Statistics for Applied Behavior Analysis Practitioners and Researchers provides practical and useful content for individuals who work directly with, or supervise those who work directly with, individuals with ASD. This book introduces core concepts and principles of modern statistical analysis that practitioners will need to deliver ABA services. The organization of the book works through the flow of behavior analytic service provision, aiming to help practitioners read through research, evaluate intervention options, incorporate statistics in their analysis of time-series intervention and assessment data, and effectively communicate assessment and intervention effects using statistics. As professionals who provide applied behavior analysis (ABA) services are required to use evidence-based practices and make data-based decisions regarding assessments and interventions, this book will help them take a modern, scientific approach to derive knowledge and make decisions based on statistical literacy. - Describes the logic behind the many variations to statistically describe human behavior - Explains the conditions under which variations in statistical description are most appropriate - Highlights common methods for quantitively determine the effectiveness of an intervention - Discusses the unique challenges of the time-series data and reviews current solutions - Covers current standards in writing and presenting statistical effects of interventions - Reviews the application of statistical description for both single-case and between-group experimental designs

David J. Cox, Ph.D., M.S.B., BCBA-D currently works as the VP of Data Science at RethinkFirst and is faculty at the Institute for Applied Behavioral Science at Endicott College. Dr. Cox has earned a M.S. in Bioethics from Union Graduate College; a PhD in behavior analysis from the University of Florida; a post-doctoral fellowship at the Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; and a post-doctoral fellowship at Insight! Data Science. Since 2014, Dr. Cox's research and applied work has focused on how to effectively leverage technology, quantitative modeling, and artificial intelligence to ethically optimize behavioral health outcomes and clinical decision-making. Based on his individual and collaborative work, he has published 50+ peer-reviewed articles, three books, and 150+ presentations at scientific conferences.Dr. Jason C. Vladescu is the Founding Chair and Professor of the Applied Behavior Analysis Program at SUNY Downstate and a Founding Partner at The Capstone Center. He earned his Ph.D. from Central Michigan University and completed his pre- and post-doctoral training at the University of Nebraska Medical Center's Munroe-Meyer Institute. Dr. Vladescu serves as the Editor-in-Chief of Behavior Analysis in Practice, has held editorial roles for multiple scientific journals, and received the APA Division 25 New Researcher Award in 2020. He has published over 90 peer-reviewed articles, chapters, and one book. His research focuses on behavioral interventions for individuals with autism, enhancing academic instruction, training staff and caregivers, and expanding the application of behavior analysis. Outside of his work in behavior analysis, Dr. Vladescu enjoys traveling, reading biographies and science fiction, playing pickleball, and indulging his love for pizza and coffee.

about the fun I’ve had: Chapter checklists for thinking, writing, and
presenting statistics 11. Through the looking glass: Probability theory,
