ABA 632: Lecture Participation Assignment – WEEK 1 BAKER, MICHELLE 1 ABA 632: Weekly Blackboard Collaborate Ultra Assignment: Week 4 1. What is assent and assent withdrawal? Assent and assent withdrawal are two behaviors that a learner exhibits, which indicates to the behavior analyst, if a client is going to be contingent to the programs being implemented. For example, some behavior analysts use contingency contracts with their learners. The contract is a binding document that maps out how the client is expected to behave and how the behavior analyst should behave accordingly, in order to reinforce or provide consequences. With a contingency contract, the behavior analysts observe the client and watched for cues that indicate the client is interested or invested, which would be labeled assent, or if the child is aloof, uninterested or trying to escaping tasks, which is called assent withdrawal. A behavior analyst should always honor assent withdrawal because it indicates the client is no longer contingent and rather, non-compliant, and accurate data will not likely be captured. 2. Give an example of an unethical situation I have experienced in my career. I just recently acquired new clients, due to a supervisor leaving the company. The mother of two sibling clients asked if I would be coming more often than the last supervisor. The mother then indicated the last supervisor was good when she was there, but that she never saw her. I was, then, told that another supervisor had reached out to this mom and asked if she was interested in signing up for bowling again; our agency’s Monday social event. The supervisor that left the company use to run it. He explained to mom that the price had gone up and when he told her the price she said, no, it actually went down. After hearing rumors from my Lead, which I also found unethical, I realized that this supervisor had been stealing from clients. Even worse was that no one called her out or checked up on
WEEK 1 2 her when she was supposedly working 80 hours a week. All supervisors at our agency are required to have overlaps every observation period. Why was no lead checking on her? It seems to me that my agency cared more about retaining clients than providing training or consequences.
