Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a highly functional discipline that, instead of searching for abstract, internal causes for human behavior, looks to external factors that can be influenced. Once identified, these factors can be manipulated to make meaningful, positive improvements in the lives of real people through positive behavior change. Not surprisingly behavior analysis has been applied to a wide range of human activities, from helping troubled teens to organizing industry to maximizing sports performance. ABA interventions for these diverse problems are often creative — and they tend to be effective. In this volume, some of the field's foremost practitioners offer their expert perspective on a range of topics within ABA. Each chapter is fully referenced and contains a set of reading objectives to facilitate deeper understanding and further discussion of its subject area. While these discussions will be of particular interest to academic behavior analysts and graduate students, clinicians and other practitioners will find the research review helpful and informative.

This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans are endowed with extraordinary sensory-motor capabilities that enable a successful interaction with and exploration of the environment, as is the case of human manipulation. Understanding and modeling these capabilities represents an important topic not only for neuroscience but also for robotics in a mutual inspiration, both to inform the design and control of artificial systems and, at the same time, to increase knowledge on the biological side. Within this context, synergies -- i.e., goal-directed actions that constrain multi DOFs of the human body and can be defined at the kinematic, muscular, neural level -- have gained increasing attention as a general simplified approach to shape the development of simple and effective artificial devices. The execution of such purposeful sensory-motor primitives on the biological side leverages on the interplay of the sensory-motor control at central and peripheral level, and the interaction of the human body with the external world. This interaction is particularly important considering the new concept of robotic soft manipulation, i.e. soft, adaptable yet robust robotic hands that can deform with the external environment to multiply their grasping and manipulation capabilities. Under this regard, a preeminent role is reserved to touch, being that skin isour primary organ to shape our knowledge of the external world and, hence, to modify it, in interaction with the efferent parts. This Research Topic reports results on the mutual inspiration between neuroscience and robotics, and on how it is possible to translate neuroscientific findings on human manipulation into engineering guidelines for simplified systems able to take full advantage from the interaction and hence exploitation of environmental constraints for task accomplishment and knowledge acquisition.

Download or read book A Comparison of Augmented Feedback and Didactic Approaches to Reduce Spine Motion During Box and Paramedic Lifting Tasks written by Victor Chan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Injury prevention movement (re)training (MR) for paramedics may be improved if they were guided by biomechanical and motor learning principles. The purpose was to compare MR approaches - didactic (DID) and augmented feedback (AUG) - in reducing spine motion during lifting tasks. Untrained participants (n=26) began with a lifting test (box, medication bag, and backboard), followed by their randomly-assigned intervention involving 50 practice lifts. The DID group began with a safe lifting presentation, whereas the AUG group was coached with augmented feedback. The lifting test was performed immediately and one-week after, while spine kinematics were quantified. After one week, AUG was strictly superior to DID in reducing spine motion in the retention task but was equivalent or superior for the transfer tasks. An AUG approach to MR is supported over didactic approaches to elicit lasting changes in practiced tasks, but more training is likely required to ensure transfer to unrehearsed tasks.
