Dear Tutor,

I don’t understand this psychology assignment, could you explain to me how to solve it. Give me an example from your own observation of how you can solve this task.

How do I understand this table , what is it supposed to tell me?

 

Overview

Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to investigate the concept of “just noticeable differences” (JNDs) and gain insight into how Weber or anyone else might determine a JND.

 

someone to assist you.

Find 60 small identical items (something similar in weight – pennies, beads, coins, dry beans) AND two identical bags.

Ask your helper to place twenty identical items in each bag. There should be no obvious way for YOU to tell these bags apart.

Hold one bag in each hand and notice the weight.

Put down both bags, placing them between you and your helper.

TURN AROUND! You shouldn’t be able to see or feel anything as items are added to a bag.

Instruct your helper to place one additional item in one of the bags (When you repeat this step, your helper should be careful to secretly add the item to the SAME BAG each time).

Turn back around and hold the bags again.

 

Use the following table if you need help figuring out your personal JND percentage.

Persistent, Repetitive Behavior Discussion

Persistent, Repetitive Behavior Discussion

  • Ory, N. (2007) Working with people with challenging behaviors. New Lenox: High Tide.
    Challenging Behaviors P 169 – 190

 

For this discussion, I would like you to report out at least three main points of this chapter and what are your take aways?  Again you must then respond to at least two people.  If they did not have the same main points as you had, give them a rationale why you thought your’s were the main points.

Try to relate the beginning of the chapter to the intervention strategies, training, and crisis management points.  Also keep in mind the six A’s.  I know this chapter is really packed full so take your time.
