  • The Science of Learning and Behavior

    Selected by Experience
    • 1st Edition
    • Brady J. Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    The Science of Learning and Behavior: Shaped by Experience is a basis for substantive learning in the science of behavior change, and the principles of learning and behavior applied to both animal and human behavior. It is often considered an error to generalize characteristics from people to animals, or vice versa, but one must grasp that the principles of learning are demonstrated to generalize from simpler organisms to the complexity of humans. The principles of learning and behavior can and have been applied to substance abuse, adult anxiety and depression, and anti-social behavior, amongst other problems of living. This is reflected in the chapters here, beginning by laying the foundation from a philosophical and scientific perspective and transitioning into the components of the 4-part contingency, with emphasis on the scientific foundation and conceptualized as the basic building blocks of behavior. The richness to expression of behavior through empirical research on processes such as partial reinforcement, simultaneously available contingencies, and complex stimulus control are discussed, before concluding with chapters that synthesize the principles to explain concepts typically encountered by undergraduate psychology or special education students (language, social behavior, cognition, and mental health).

  • Digital Psychiatry

    Case Studies from Patient-Driven Innovations
    • 1st Edition
    • Luis Sandoval + 2 more
    • English
    Digital Psychiatry: Case Studies of Patient-Driven Innovations illustrates the clinical perspective of using technology to improve mental health of patients. Over the past two decades, technology has begun to play an important role in medicine. The synergy of technology and psychiatry, now called telepsychiatry or digital psychiatry, has helped increase treatment access, training, and dissemination while reducing cost and stigma associated with mental health disorders. Most of what is known today in telepsychiatry is based on scientific research such as pilot studies, clinical trials and meta-analyses, which have been conducted in hospital and/or academic settings. These studies only tell one side of the story, that of the scientists, doctors, clinicians, and professors without taking into account the experience of the patients. This reference examines a series of clinical cases to showcase how modified technological devices such as video games, apps, movies, and online videos can treat psychiatric conditions. This book is a prime resource for researchers and clinicians who are trying to understand how to incorporate technology into treatment options for patients.

    Measuring Transportation Network Performance: Analysis and Practice is a comprehensive guide to developing, analysing, and interpreting performance measures for transportation networks. It explains the concepts, technical requirements, analytical choices, and practical considerations needed to build an effective network performance measurement system and to understand how transportation networks change over time.The book examines the major dimensions of network performance across different modes of transport, including travel time, speed, delay, reliability, congestion, flow, connectivity, accessibility, resilience, equity, environmental performance, and safety. Rather than presenting performance measures as isolated indicators, it explains how they should be defined, calculated, interpreted, and combined to answer practical transportation planning and network management questions. Practical examples highlight common analytical challenges, limitations, and errors that can influence the conclusions drawn from transportation data. The book also takes readers through the practical process of network performance measurement. Detailed case studies demonstrate how a performance measurement system can be developed and how multiple measures can be brought together to explain the performance story of a transportation network.Strongly focused on practical application, the book is written for transportation engineers, planners, analysts, researchers, transport agencies, consultants, and others involved in understanding network performance. It helps readers move beyond producing indicators toward using data to understand network conditions, diagnose problems, evaluate change, and communicate meaningful performance insights that support better planning, operations, and decision making.
