HEALTHCARE INFORMATICS DISCUSSION 4

Consider this scenario: The hospital administrators have chosen to include the
smart card or implanted RFID in their plan for patient care delivery. However,
your client base is resistant to the idea of using the smart card. In your
discussion response, please address each of the following questions:
What are the pros and cons for using the smartcard or RFID?
How would you balance the concerns related to the cons, while trying to
incorporate its use into the healthcare system?
Identify groups or individuals who could immediately benefit from the use of the
technology, and why is that so?

Question #1

Run descriptive statistics to obtain the needed mean and standard deviation and
other information to determine whether the data is normally distributed. Make
sure to “save standardized values” when doing so. Copy / Paste the output here,
formatting using professional conventions, numbering it as Table 1 and giving it
an appropriate title (no Note needed). (4 pts content / 2 pts format)

Question #2 Write a brief description of the memory scores obtained from this
sample as you would in a Method section of a research report. Make sure to
include the mean, standard deviation, and whether the data appears normally
distributed (use skew and kurtosis values to determine this). Use proper APA
format as shown in previous weeks. (4 pts content / 2 pts format)

Question #3
Create an appropriate figure to examine the distribution of memory scores in the
sample (make sure both axes titles are in Title Case!). Number it Figure 1 and
create an appropriate title. In the Note section, using both a visual inspection
of the data and a skewness statistic to discuss whether the distribution is
normal. Make sure all components are formatted using APA conventions.
(4 pts content / 2 pts format)

Question #4
Continuing to use this dataset, go to Variable View, create a third variable and
name it “percRank”. Make sure it is numeric with measure set to “Scale”. Have
SPSS compute the percentile ranks based on the normal distribution, using the
Mean and Standard Deviation shown in your output from Question #1. Take a
snapshot of your data view and place it below so that all three columns can be
seen in their entirety. (It does not need to be in APA format).
(2 pts content / 2 pts format)

Question #6 Assuming a normal distribution, use the mean and standard deviation
you obtained from the SPSS output in previous sections to answer the following
questions:
Note: you MUST show all work to be eligible for credit. Round to 2 decimals for
z score; do NOT round for proportion – use all 4 decimals as shown in Appendix
C.3.
(3 pts each = 6 pts Content)

For a memory score of 7, calculate the z-score, and find the proportion of the
distribution located up to this point

Calculate and show all work:

Given the z score you calculated for a memory score of 7, find the proportion of
the distribution located up to this point. (Hint: remember if the z score is
above the mean, you’ll need to add 0.50!)

Calculate and show all work:

Question #7 Assuming a normal distribution, use the mean and standard deviation
you obtained from the SPSS output in previous sections to answer the following
questions:
Note: you MUST show all work to be eligible for credit. Round to 2 decimals for
z score; do NOT round for proportion – use all 4 decimals as shown in Appendix
C.3.
(4 pts each = 8 pts Content)

For a memory score of 5, calculate the z-score.

Calculate and show all work:

Given the z score you calculated for a memory score of 5, find the proportion of
the distribution located up to this point. **Think about what C.3 provides (area
between the mean and z) and where your point would fall on the normal
distribution. You will need to subtract the number you find in the table from
0.5 to answer this question. Do NOT round – show all work – final answer should
have 4 decimal places.

Calculate and show all work:

DISCUSSION: EVALUATING NONEXPERIMENTAL STUDIES

PSYC 510
Discussion: Evaluating Nonexperimental Studies Assignment Instructions

Overview
This assignment will require you to find and evaluate a nonexperimental study on
a topic of your choice in the field of psychology. This will take time and
develop your research skills, as you must find an original, empirical,
quantitative research article published within the last 5 years over a topic of
your choosing in the field of psychology to evaluate. You will further hone your
research skills by locating an article referenced by a peer and evaluating it.
Reading, evaluating, and communicating research findings using professional
standards are skills that will allow you to stay abreast of current and emerging
topics in your field for the rest of your professional career.
Thread Assignment Instructions
Use your library database to find a primary research article that describes a
nonexperimental study on a topic of professional interest in the field of
psychology. After you have found an appropriate nonexperimental study, read the
entire article carefully. Use the article to complete your thread. The topic
thread should address all required components.
Thread Content
Paragraph 1
Write a brief (one paragraph) summary of the overall goal of the study. Please
note this means the summary should not include any quotes or paraphrases – the
goal is to develop your ability to read and write scientifically using your own
words, give credit when credit is due, and summarize without plagiarizing. Thus,
an in-text citation the first time you mention the study should be included in
this first paragraph.
Approximately 4 – 6 sentences.
Paragraph 2
Look through the entire Results section to identify any inferential statistics
with which you are familiar (from Chapters 8 and 9). List them and explain how
the authors used each statistic (e.g., to test a specific hypothesis and if so,
state the hypothesis it assessed). Note your article must have at least one
clearly identifiable statistic relevant to chapters 8 or 9 or you’ll need to
select a different article for this assignment.

Approximately 2 sentences per inferential statistic identified.
Paragraph 3
Identify and discuss one application of professional ethics evidenced in the
research design (you may want to review Chapter 1). Do you have any moral and/
or religious concerns raised by the study’s design?
Reference
Provide a correctly formatted Reference entry using current APA conventions. To
reduce ambiguity, an example is taken verbatim from Section 10 of the APA
Publication Manual (2020) – please refer to the section for additional examples
as needed.
Example 1. Journal article with a DOI
McCauley, S. M., & Christiansen, M. H. (2019). Language learning as language
use: A cross-linguistic model of child language model of child language
development. Psychological Review, 126(1), 1-51.
https://doi.org/10.1037/rev0000126
Parenthetical citation: (McCauley & Christiansen, 2019)
Narrative citation: McCauley and Christiansen (2019)
Thread Format
Your response may be up to 400 words not including the one (1) required
Reference entry, but the minimum is set intentionally low at 100 words as the
primary goal should be to succinctly address all required components as noted
above. Make sure there are no quotes. Put everything into your own words. Write
professionally, making sure to check for typos, misspellings, and use of correct
grammar. Note: Overciting is to be avoided. Since the entire content of the
thread is related to one article, a citation the first time (in the first
paragraph) mentioned will suffice. Use the latest edition of the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association (2020) for correct formatting
of citations and reference entries.
Reply Assignment Instructions
This assignment consists of one reply to a peer thread that has no response.
You’ll need to read the article they summarized (locating it by using the full
Reference entry) before composing your response, making sure to address all
content and format instructions below. Your reply must be a minimum of 100 words
not including the References. Each reply must have a minimum of two (2) in-text
citations and a Reference section. The reply is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday
of Module: Week 7.
Reply Content
Review your peer’s summary and the article they summarized. In your response,
clearly address each of the following components (in this order):
Paragraph 1
Did your peer address all required components of the thread portion? Was
everything correctly cited and was the Reference correctly formatted? If
anything was missing or incorrect, provide the correct information. Was the
thread written succinctly? There is nearly always a way to reduce words, and
this is an essential skill when writing research grants and/or articles. I’ve
often asked a peer to help me reduce words as once we are invested in what we
want to say, it can be difficult! Thus, quote one sentence from your peer’s
thread that you feel you can write more succinctly. Then, state how you would
write it.
Approximately 4 – 6 sentences.
Paragraph 2
Your peer’s thread should have included a report of an inferential statistic.
Restate the inferential statistic your peer identified. What construct(s) were
tested with that statistic in the article (Hint: There will only be 1 – 2
constructs / variables). How did the original article operationally define each
variable (or the one, if it only involved one).
Approximately 3 sentences per inferential statistic identified.
References
The reply must incorporate at least two (2) in-text citations (peer’s thread and
originally cited research article), which can be written using narrative or
parenthetical form. The Reference section should have two correctly formatted
entries. To reduce ambiguity, an example for how to cite and create a reference
entry for your peer’s post is provided below (note it has been modified to
provide a more specific example to this particular assignment given it is a
discussion board and you will know the author’s first and last name). Use
Section 10 of the APA Publication Manual (2020) for additional guidance as
needed.
Example 109. Online forum post *modified
St. Peters, M. (2024, June 20). Re: Evaluating nonexperimental studies.
[Discussion post]. Liberty University Online.
https://canvas.liberty.edu/login/canvas
Parenthetical citation: (St. Peters, 2024)
Narrative citation: St. Peters (2024)
Reply Format
Your reply may be up to 400 words not including the two (2) required Reference
entry, but the minimum is set intentionally low at 100 words as the primary goal
should be to succinctly address all required components as noted above. Write
professionally, making sure to check for typos, misspellings, and use of correct
grammar. The reply should contain two correctly formatted in-text citations and
corresponding Reference entries. Use the latest edition of the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association (2020) for correct formatting
of citations and reference entries. As with all communications in this course,
replies should be written in a thoughtful, educated, and professional manner.
Avoid unsubstantiated opinions or claims, personal comments, or general comments
such as the following, which will result in  loss of points:
· “Great job on your introduction / discussion post,”
· “I totally agree with everything you said,”
· “Good luck in the rest of the class,” etc

Research consistently shows that children are more likely to have behavior
problems if they have less support available in their family. A local
developmental psychologist observes seven children with their parents, rating
levels of family support and child behavior problems to examine whether her
town’s data is consistent with the literature. The data appear below. (Note that
this is a very small sample size for demonstration purposes. If you were
conducting an actual study, you would want a larger sample size. Also note, it
is standard practice to consider ratings unless otherwise identified). Enter it
into SPSS to complete the first set of problems (#1-7).

Write a results paragraph for the regression analysis. Make sure to include the
statistical test results, regression equation, interpretation of the equation,
and the standard error of the estimate. Include a correctly formatted callout to
Figure 1 as well! (Note this question requires you to synthesize information
from the lecture video, SPSS Workbook, and ebook chapter from this week! Hint:
See Application 9.3 (p. 272) and its related sections in chapter 9 for an
example write-up based on SPSS output.)

Question #7 – 2 pts content
The media reports that “New study finds that the root of behavior problems in
children is lack of family support”. In 1 – 2 sentences, briefly discuss whether
this is an appropriate claim, using terms and concepts from the course.

A researcher uses a driving simulation to measure the reaction time of braking
when a dog runs across the street in front of a car. His participants are newly
licensed or experienced drivers, and all of the drivers are talking on a cell
phone during the simulation (N = 16). He finds the following data, which
represent seconds to brake after a dog first appears in the street in front of a
driver. Enter the data below as numerical data into SPSS to complete problems

output in the space provided, making sure it is all viewable.

Question #10 – 4 pts content / 2 pts format
Write a Results section for your findings. Include the type of statistical test
and results of the test (clearly stating whether results are significant or
not), confidence interval, and interpret the coefficient of determination.

Question #12 – 4 pts content
Recall what makes a study causal (i.e. systematic manipulation of an independent
variable, random assignment to levels of the IV… review chapter 1 if needed).
How could you examine breaking time in a causal / experimental research study
(note it does not need to include the type of driver variable – just use the
braking time variable from this scenario plus another variable you could
envision manipulating that may affect braking time).
Clearly state your two variables, how you’d operationally define them, which one
you’d manipulate, and how you’d manipulate it.

Pintrich and colleagues (1991) developed the Motivated Strategiies for Learning
Questionnaire (MLSQ) to determine if there is an association between students’
effort regulation and GPA. I used one subscale of the MLSQ (“effort regulation”)
and final grades in an introductory psychology course to see if we could
replicate the finding that students’ effort regulation, meaning their
persistence in the face of a boring or difficult task, is associated with
academic success. You will need to use the M8 Big Picture Data SPSS file to
complete this assignment.
At midterm, students completed the survey which asked them their age, sex, and
classification (freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior). It also asked them the
four questions from the effort regulation subscale of the MSLQ. Students were
asked for permission to use their final grade in the course and their answers to
the survey for research purposes. Here are the MSLQ questions from the survey:
1. I often feel so lazy or bored when I study for this class that I quit before
I finish what I planned to do. *
2. I work hard to do well I this class even if I don’t like what we are doing.
3. When course work is difficult, I either give up or only study the easy parts.
*
4. Even when course materials are dull and uninteresting, I manage to keep
working until I finish.
These are on a scale of 1 – 7, with one indicating “not at all true of me” and 7
being “very true of me”.
You will be using this dataset to answer the questions below.

Question #1 – 3 pts content
Run the necessary descriptive statistics based on each variable’s scale of
measurement and what makes most sense for: age, sex, and classification. Copy /
paste image(s) of the appropriate SPSS output in the space below. *Do not remove
any cases / outliers for this assignment*

Question #2 – 6 pts content / 2 pts format
Present the descriptive statistics as would be done for a Participant subsection
of a Method section. Age and sex should be presented in text, and you should
create the most appropriate graph for classification. Make sure the graph for
classification is properly formatted, including a Figure # and title, and has a
proper call-out in the text. Note that since it is presented graphically, the
same information should not also be stated using words (as that’d be redundant).
Hint: There is an example in the IBM SPSS Workbook Part 2 on pages 200-201 for
how to present the information in text, and you’ve been creating figures and
using callouts throughout the semester

Question #3 – 2 pts content
Reverse-code MSLQ #1 and 3 (Hint: This was shown in the IBM SPSS Workbook Part
1). Copy / paste an image of the Data View of these two reverse coded columns.

Question #4 – 2 pts content
Calculate whether there is internal consistency in this MSLQ subscale (see ch. 4
if needing a review of how to do this). Make sure you use the reverse-coded
columns for the two variables recoded above. Copy / paste an image of the
appropriate SPSS output in the space below.

Question #5 – 4 pts content / 2 pts format
Write an appropriate Materials subsection of a Professional Research Paper,
noting the internal consistency of this MSLQ subscale. There is an example in
the IBM SPSS Workbook Part 2 on pages 200-201.

Question #6 – 2 pts content
Have SPSS calculate the mean effort regulation score for each participant
(making sure to use the reverse-coded columns for two MSLQ questions). Hint:
this is also shown in the IBM SPSS Workbook Part 1. Copy / paste an image of the
Data View of the averaged effort regulation column.

Question #7 – 4 pts content / 2 pts format
Run appropriate descriptive statistics on the MSLQ average and class
performance. Write the results of these descriptive statistics as would be done
in a Results section. Hint: There is an example in the IBM SPSS Workbook Part 2
on pages 200-201 for one variable – you’ll have to report two in this section.
However, you do NOT have to exclude anyone from the analyses.

Question #8 – 2 pts content
Conduct the appropriate statistical test to assess whether effort regulation is
associated with academic success. Copy / paste an image of the appropriate SPSS
output in the space below.

Question #9 – 6 pts content / 2 pts format
Write up the results using professional conventions. Hint: We did this last week
in Module 7!

Question #10 – 3 pts content
Conduct the appropriate statistical test to assess whether you can predict one’s
academic success based on their effort regulation (regardless of results from
previous sections – this is for educational purposes). Copy / paste an image of
the appropriate SPSS output in the space below.

Question #11 – 4 pts content / 2 pts format
Create an appropriate figure to best demonstrate the prediction analysis and
data. Make sure to include the figure number, title, and notes, and to do so
using APA format! Hint: We did this last week in Module 7!

Question #12 – 6 pts content / 2 pts format
Write up the results from #10-11 using professional conventions, making sure to
include a callout to the figure created in the previous question. Hint: We did
this last week in Module 7!

Question #13 – 3 pts content / 1 pts format

In one – two sentences, briefly summarize what your data suggests in terms of
the research question. Did the study replicate the previous findings? This
information would typically go in a Discussion section of a Professional
Research Paper.

Question #14 – 3 pts content
For the purposes of this question, assume the analyses revealed a statistically
significant relationship. What is a question you would ask related to its
practical significance?

PROJECT 6

This is what I sent but the instructor said I did not follow the Rubic. Please
work on improving it for me.
ABA 520 Module 6 Project
Behavior Skills Training Proposal
One day of professional development will be provided to the Outreach Program
(the RBTs employed by the local school districts) as a kind of Continuing
Education for RBTs on a day when the schools are closed for Teacher Conferences.
At 8:30 am, all RBTs are expected to report to the facility so they can
participate in a half-day workshop on behavior skills training. At 12:30 pm,
RBTs will be made available for the after. Four aspects will comprise the
workshop: modeling, feedback, instruction, and role-playing.
Before the course starts, RBTs will be required to take a pre-test to gauge
their understanding of discrete trial training. At the conclusion of the
program, RBTs will take a post-test to gauge their level of proficiency.
Additionally, RBTs will finish a trainer evaluation to contribute to the future
success of this session.
Before they feel competent and/or secure in their ability to do so, RBTs will
not practice DTT skills with students in the field. Following this training, if
they still feel unconfident or untrained, they will arrange a time to work on
this activity with their supervisor. RBTs can work with students in the field
after completing the pre- and post-tests and demonstrating proficiency.
INSTRUCTION:
Discrete Trial Training
Discrete trial training, or DTT, is one instructional approach that is employed
in the classroom. The discrete trial method consists of three main components:
(1) the trainer providing instructions, such as “point to the yellow block,” (2)
the student’s physical response to those instructions, and (3) the subsequent
consequence, which could be an adjustment or reinforcement of the instruction.
The insertion of intervals between trials significantly facilitates data
collecting. However, it is essential to carefully regulate the duration and
cadence of the pause in order to sustain the student’s level of engagement. The
model that is being given has the following structure:
A —————————————— B —————————————- C
( ANTECEDENT ) ( Behavior/Response) ( Consequence )
A cue to perform some Child’s action as a result what happens following the
Behavior that leads to of the cue response (i.e., a reward for
A reward. Correct responding)
MODELING:
The above scenario will be role-played by two BCBAs in the roles of RBT and
student. The pupil will be asked to point at the yellow block by the RBT. The
pupil is going to indicate the yellow block. The student will receive a token or
incentive from the RBT. After a brief break, the same thing will happen. The RBT
will wait and offer prompting if the learner needs it, whether it be vocal or
through gestures.
REHEARSAL/ROLE-PLAY:
After that, RBTs will practice several scenarios like the one they observed
modeled by switching roles between RBT and student in pairs.
FEEDBACK:
The RBTs will then practice other scenarios like the one they observed modeled
by alternating between the roles of RBT and student in pairs.
