Download or read book Analysis of Visual Behavior written by David Ingle and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1982 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Analysis of Visual Behavior" encompasses both theoretical and experimental research. It deals with the visual mechanisms of diverse vertebrate species from salamanders and toads to primates and humans and presents a stimulating interaction of the disciplines of anatomy, physiology, and behavioral science. Throughout, visual mechanisms are investigated from the point of view of the brain functioning at the organismic level, as opposed to the now more prevalent focus on the molecular and cellular levels. This approach allows researchers to deal with the patterns of visually guided behavior of animals in real-life situations.The twenty-six contributions in the book are divided among three sections: "Indentification and Localization Processes in Nonmammalian Vertebrates," introduced by David J. Ingle; "Visual Guidance of Motor Patterns: The Role of Visual Cortex and the Superior Colliculus," introduced by Melvyn A. Goodale; and "Recognition and Transfer Processes," introduced by Richard J. W. Mansfield.The editors are all university researchers in psychology: David J. Ingle at Brandeis, Melvyn A. Goodale at the University of Western Ontario, and Richard J. W. Mansfield at Harvard.

Download or read book Behavior and Sequential Analyses written by Tom Sharpe and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2003-01-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavior and sequential Analyses provides a step-by-step approach to the principles and practices of direct observation and behaviour analysis research and evaluation procedures. Emphasis is on computer-facilitated methods designed to collect and analyze both the multiple characteristics of behaviour and events of interest and the time-based or sequential characteristics of behaviour and event relationships. Particularly designed for highly interactive applied settings, the methods and procedures outlined are presented in an introductory manner that should, nonetheless, still prove relevant to advanced students and seasoned researchers across the social and behavioural sciences and education. Behavior and sequential Analyses includes background and philosophy of applied behaviour analysis methodology, procedures for observation system construction and recommendations for handling reliability and treatment fidelity issues, a variety of data recording methods and research design types, graph preparation and visual and statistical discrete and sequential data analysis procedures, and an overview of recommended research, evaluation, and instructional applications for education, psychol

Download or read book Further Evaluation of a Decision making Algorithm to Aid in Training Visual Analysis written by Darla Kril and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual analysis is an important component of evaluating graphically displayed data and making clinical decisions in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The individuals responsible for implementing behavioral interventions and analyzing data are often behavior technicians who may not be provided with effective training to be proficient in visually analyzing data. Therefore, there is a need for an effective and streamlined method to train visual analysis. Previous research has suggested the support of a clinical decision-making algorithm (DMA) to aid in making correct clinical judgments. The current study trained six graduate students to make clinical decisions using a computer-based training and the aid of the DMA. Correct responding was evaluated upon removal of the DMA. Five of the six participants increased their percentage of accurate responses with the DMA alone. High levels of correct responding maintained for four of the six participants.

Download or read book Experimental Analysis of Behavior written by Iver H. Iversen and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1991 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is dedicated to the late B.F. Skinner as a tribute to his pioneering work on the experimental analysis of behaviour. This science that he initiated studies the behaviour of individual organisms under laboratory conditions. The volume describes a broad collection of representative and effective research techniques in the experimental analysis of behaviour; techniques derived solely from infrahuman subjects, which have been selected both for their utility in behaviour analysis and for their potential value in expanding the use of behaviour analysis in the neurosciences. By bringing together under one cover the expertise of individual authors regarding techniques based on their particular laboratory experiences, the book provides an informative and practical source of methods and techniques for those practising or interested in experimental analysis of behaviour.

Download or read book Semantic Analysis and Understanding of Human Behavior in Video Streaming written by Alberto Amato and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semantic Analysis and Understanding of Human Behaviour in Video Streaming investigates the semantic analysis of the human behaviour captured by video streaming, and introduces both theoretical and technological points of view. Video analysis based on the semantic content is in fact still an open issue for the computer vision research community, especially when real-time analysis of complex scenes is concerned. This book explores an innovative, original approach to human behaviour analysis and understanding by using the syntactical symbolic analysis of images and video streaming described by means of strings of symbols. A symbol is associated to each area of the analyzed scene. When a moving object enters an area, the corresponding symbol is appended to the string describing the motion. This approach allows for characterizing the motion of a moving object with a word composed by symbols. By studying and classifying these words we can categorize and understand the various behaviours. The main advantage of this approach lies in the simplicity of the scene and motion descriptions so that the behaviour analysis will have limited computational complexity due to the intrinsic nature both of the representations and the related operations used to manipulate them. Besides, the structure of the representations is well suited for possible parallel processing, thus allowing for speeding up the analysis when appropriate hardware architectures are used. A new methodology for design systems for hierarchical high semantic level analysis of video streaming in narrow domains is also proposed. Guidelines to design your own system are provided in this book. Designed for practitioners, computer scientists and engineers working within the fields of human computer interaction, surveillance, image processing and computer vision, this book can also be used as secondary text book for advanced-level students in computer science and engineering.

Download or read book Analyzing Single System Design Data written by William Nugent and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-12-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single system, or single case, design studies are a convenient method for evaluating practice, allowing professionals to track clients' response to treatment and change over time. They also allow researchers to gather data where it might be difficult to conduct a study involving treatment and control groups; in a school setting, or a community mental health agency, for example, random assignment may be impossible, whereas individual student or client progress across time can be more easily monitored. This pocket guide reviews a wide range of techniques for analyzing single system design data, including visual analysis methods, graphical methods, and statistical methods. From basic visual observation to complex ARIMA statistical models for use with interrupted time series designs, numerous data analysis methods are described and illustrated in this unique and handy book. The author frankly describes limitations and strengths of the data analysis methods so that readers can select an appropriate method and use the results responsibly in order to improve practice and client well-being. This accessible yet in-depth introduction will serve as a highly practical resource for doctoral students and researchers alike.

Download or read book Behaviour Analysis in Educational Psychology written by Kevin Wheldall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1980s there had been a marked increase in the application of behavioural methods in schools. However, much of this work was weak conceptually and limited in its remit. Behaviour analysis has more to offer education than ‘smarties’ and time-out. Originally published in 1986, this collection of twenty papers, many of them experimental, serves to demonstrate the power of behaviour analysis in a wide variety of applications. The editors stress the importance of antecedent control, as well as consequence management strategies, and illustrate their relevance in solving problems in everyday situations at school and in the home. The Editors, whose own work is well represented in this collection, are acknowledged as leading researchers in this field.
