1-Many phenomena in the world are complex, and explaining why they happen is difficult. Regression is a great tool for analyzing multiple sources of causation.
Which outside resource (image, video, article) helps explain or explore multiple sources of causation for a phenomenon that interests you? Share the link within your post. What caught your eye about this resource?
2-Explain if these discussions are well explained and why?

1-In the field of ABA there are many outcomes that are critical. One of them is maladaptive behavior reduction in children with ASD. One of the factors that could be tested to see what is driving the outcome is parent participation in the implementation of behavior support plans. It is very common to see parents failing to implement behavior support plans with fidelity or continue to implement them outside of treatment sessions. This can be due to lack of appropriate parent training and lack of buy-in in the proposed plans. Inconsistent implementation of plans can impact the outcomes.

2-In applied behavior analysis one of the domains we focus on is communication especially if the client lacks functional communication. The outcome we want to see is an increase in functional communication whether it be though a device, PECS, or words. Once the method is determined by the BCBA the client is taught through repetition and error correction. Factors to consider that may effect the outcome of the client learning FCT could be if the skills is being practiced at home if it isn’t the skill isn’t being practiced and will take longer to learn and be generalized. Additionally, I have seen kids that have their tongue tied which also makes it difficult to communicate verbally.

3-I watch a video to help me better understand regression. In the video it starts at the basics. With regression we are looking to use numerical data to help us predict an outcome between two or more variables. For instance, if someone wanted to find out what group of students from 5th to 6th grade pay for extra for pizza on pizza day, they would use the regression model to predict the outcome. The regression model may not give you a 100% accurate outcome but that’s when you deal with the “error”. The error doesn’t necessarily mean that anything is in error it just means that other variables were needed to produce more accurate outcome. Well, that’s at least what I got out of it.
