...As discussed in class, functional behavior assessment (FBA) is the process of determining the cause, or “function”, of behavior before developing an intervention. The intervention must be based on the hypothesized cause, or function, of the behavior. This specific assessment focused primarily on my boyfriend who has a habit of smoking cigarettes. I used a variety of functional behavior assessment tools, such as an ABC data sheet, functional analysis screening tools (FAST), and a motivational assessment scale (MAS). These findings helped me guide and development possible strategies to decrease his behavior of constantly smoking cigarettes. His behavior was observed in different settings and during different activities. After using the ABC...

...Job Analysis Abstract This essay will explain how to create a job analysis. It will explain what a job analysis is, and identifies the objectives of the job duties and roles for a position as a Human Resource Receptionist. Creating a Job Analysis The history of Job analysis was founded in 1900 by Frederick W. Taylor. His interest in improving the studying the principles of work and science developed into what is called a Job analysis. Human Resource Managers create a Job Analysis using task statements, Knowledge Skills Abilities, and create a job description. One method of developing a Job analysis is using the 7 stages of a Functional Job Analysis. The 7 stages are resources in helping to identify the task statements, KSA’s and job description. The following 7 stages are: things functions, work instructions, mathematical, data function, reasoning development, language develop and people function. (Pugh 2007) The thing functions are examples the ability to use office equipment anything tangible. Work instructions requires the ability to perform a given a task. Mathematical function is the ability to operate and handled business math. Data function is dealing with facts, statistics and information with business. Reasoning development show the ability to show comprehensive reasoning. Language develop require oral and written communication. People functions involve interaction with people. All 7 stages are used in developing the process of producing a Job analysis. The...

...MATH 4450 - HOME WORK 5 (1) Let V be a R−vector space and < , > be an inner product. Prove that if {v1 , · · · , vn } is a set of mutually orthogonal non-zero vectors, then this set is also linearly independent. Proof: We are given (vi , vj ) = 0 if i = j and (vi , vi ) = 1. To prove that the set if linearly independent, we set a1 v1 + · · · + an vn = 0. Now taking inner product with vj on both sides, we get n ai (vi , vj ) = (0, vj ). Since inner products are linear in the first i=1 variable, we get n ai (v1 , vj ) = 0, and this gives aj = 0. Thus we are done. i=1 (2) Let V be a vector space and < , > be an inner product. Then show that (a) < 0, v >= 0 for any v ∈ V . Proof: < 0, v >=< 0 + 0, v >=< 0, v > + < 0, v >. Subtracting < 0, v > from both sides, we get < 0, v >= 0. (b) Show that for a fixed u ∈ V , < u, v >= 0 for any v ∈ V , then u = 0. Proof: Take v = u. Then we have < u, u >= 0, i.e., ||u||2 = 0. This implies that u = 0. (3) Let V be a vector space and < , > be an inner product and B = {v1 , · · · , vn } be an orthonormal basis for V . If c1 , · · · , cn ∈ K are scalars, then show that there is a unique v ∈ V such that < v, vi >= ci . Proof: Let v = n ci vi . Now taking inner product with vj on both sides, we get i=1 (v, vj ) = n ci (vi , vj ). Orthogonality implies that (vi , vj ) = 0 for i = j. Hence we get i=1 (v, vj ) = cj (vj , vj ). Since vj is non-zero (why?), we get ci = (v, vj )/||vj ||2 = (v, vj ). This proves existence. Uniqueness follows from the properties...
