Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) refers to applying approaches upon the basic principles of learning for altering the behaviors in humans or animals. Hence it is a scientific approach to understand the behavior of individuals in a specific environment. Behavior change can be affected by the environment surrounding an individual and also affect how learning takes place. The paper describes writing styles in three peer-viewed articles and the articles' main ideas.
Article 1: Teachers' classroom behavior as a predictor of students' achievement in physics
The article describes the behavior of teachers in the classroom that affects the performance of students. In the case study outlined in the article, the article describes the performance and achievement of physics students depending on the teacher's behavior in the classroom. It is essential to realize that a teacher's effectiveness is usually measured according to the performance of their students (Olugbenga, 2016). A good performance associated with a good relationship between the teacher and the students.
The writing in the article is narrative in the introduction part and formal other section of the paper. In the narrative style, the author tries to impart information on what is discussed in the article. The article's major purpose is to show that reflective teaching and classroom observation techniques enhance better teacher's behavior in the classroom, leading to better academic performance by the students.
The audience in the article are teachers and also students. It describes the relationship between the teacher's behavior and the student's performance. APA formatting style has been used in the paper to quote other persons' ideas in the discussion section of the paper. Also, the references in the article are in APA style. Ideas in the paper are well expressed with good punctuation and grammar. The paragraphs are moderate and well-aligned in the paper.
Article 2: Prediction of Customer Behavior Analysis Using Classification Algorithms
The article describes customer behavior patterns analyzed through customer relationship management of an organization. Customers respond according to how they are treated and appreciated in any enterprise (Raju, 2018). Some aspects, such as approaching and convincing a customer, are key elements in maintaining a good customer based relationship.
The writing style in the paper is formal, where the author expresses his message with specific customer-based language and data mining language. The text's major purpose is to predict customers in an enterprise and determine their behaviors using data mining techniques, classification algorithms. The paper's audience is business enterprises who may require to predict their customers and adopt strategies to improve on their relationship with them; this is done by taking data that describes the behavior of customers to an enterprise.
APA formatting style has been used in quoting other people's ideas, as shown in the related work section. The ideas are presented formally and scientifically, where the author emphasizes the classification algorithm technique of data mining. The paper combines the use of long and short paragraphs in delivering the message.
Article 3: The line between intervention and abuse' – autism and applied behavior analysis
The article outlines the emergence of ABA in the 20th century and shows earlier historians' role concerning the topic. The author describes the history of ABA and shows the position of ABA in today's world. The style of writing in the paper is narrative. The author describes the history of ABA's current knowledge on the topic and comparison and its position in history (Kirkham, 2017). The purpose of the text is to highlight Ole lvar Lovaas, a practitioner of ABA and the controversial surroundings of ABA on the autism disorder.
The audience in the paper is any individual interested in learning the history and current information of ABA. APA writing style has been significantly used in the paper to quote others' ideas and in the references in the paper. The ideas have been presented in a narrative manner where the author relates to others' work and ideas. The paragraphs in the paper are short, and each carries a specific idea.
Conclusion
Conclusively, applied behavior analysis is vital in understanding the behavior of humans in an environment. ABA has been applied in a broad aspect of life, such as in business and health services. Understanding one's behavior contributes to a good relationship among people.
