Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)

Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, is the primary structure that carries the genetic material in cells of living organisms and some viruses. The DNA is made up of strands of nucleotides that are made up of nitrogenous bases, a phosphate compound and, a ribose sugar. The nucleotides form a ring or ladder that over lapses to form double helix strands of polynucleotides. DNA aggregates to form the chromosomes that are strictly found within the nucleus of the cell. Some DNA are found in the ribosomes outside the nucleus. In the DNA structure, the series of the bases is arranged, and the sequence in one ...

Motivational Interviewing: Literature Review

Extensive research has been executed on the subject of motivational interviewing (MI) since it was originally published as a key approach to eliciting behavioral change (Shulman, 2011). In his original designation, Miller & Rollnick (2013) described motivational interviewing as an approach that is based on the fundamental principles of experimental social psychology and the application of such principles such as cognitive dissonance, attribution, and self-efficacy.

The rationale may include a summary of the work or comments highlighting the main point in the student’s work. Meyers and Nulty (2009) suggest that ...

Discussion questions

Metric system has only seven basic units, while the US system has more than 300 basic units; thus, it is simpler. In addition, units in metric systems are multiples of 10, therefore, calculations is easier than in US system. Metric systems are universally applied, except in USA. Perimeter is measured by distance round a figure whose SI units are meters; therefore, the perimeter is given in units of length. However, area is a derived quantity and its magnitude is obtained by multiplication of two units of length. Therefore, its units are given by the product of the units. Theoretical ...
