Psychology Report: Implementing DA Replacement Option Program

This report provides a comprehensive overview of implementing a DA (Direct Access) replacement option program, focusing on behavior analysis and modification techniques. The introduction defines DA and contrasts it with SMA (Socially Mediated Access). The main body outlines the essential steps for implementing a DA replacement program, including determining behavior chains, scrutinizing behavior presence, trigger analysis, baseline measurements, and comparing outcomes. The report details discrete trials and incidental teaching methods, emphasizing their roles in teaching skills and addressing undesired behaviors. The report highlights the importance of environmental setups and the use of Premack contingency to manage behavior rates. The conclusion summarizes the process, emphasizing its significance in analyzing and modifying behavior. The report aims to provide clarity and practical guidance for behavior intervention strategies.

INTRODUCTION
DA (Direct Access) is a notion which believes that there is no difference in sort of
retrieval speed. It can be cited as an analysis of behaviour where it is supposed that the behaviour
of a client immediately produces his desired events (Kirchner, Eckert, and Berg, 2022) There are
a few variations yet it would be fair enough that SMA (Socially Mediated Access) is a replica of
DA. The essay is intended to bring sort of clarity pertaining to the upheld conviction.
MAIN BODY
In order to implement a DA replacement option program there are a few prerequisites
which are supposed to be fulfilled so can implement it to the best and the most suitable manner.
There are a few steps which are supposed to be taken for such implementation. But the very first
or inevitably foremost step is “Determining the chain of behaviour which is directly kicking
off reinforcement of events”. It would help in eliminating the problem in behaviour or
unacceptable behaviours (Chafe, 2017)
In the next step it would be “Scrutinized that weather there is presence of such
behaviour or not”. By this course of action it can be articulated that if a few components are
missing then appropriate actions can be taken. This stage is quite essential since it is not always
feasible that the same set of behaviour would be there. The main aim of such implementation is
to eradicate such undesired behaviour. The presence and absent of this behaviour are having their
comprehensive impact on the final outcomes since the way these changes or developments are
supposed to be imparted totally depends on identification of these notions.
At once when clarity is brought then Trigger analysis process would be carried out. In
this program, this phase is quite essential. Here, so all contextual condition hypotheses would be
prepared to invigilate the target audience's behaviour. This stage helps in many ways for
instance, in brining clarity of thought with respect to target behaviour and DA replacement
behaviour so a proper roadmap can be prepared in attempt to make the final outcomes more
reliable (Rocca, and Yarkoni, 2021)
Then Baseline Measurement is taken into consideration. This is a set of actions where
two data pieces are needed such as target behaviour and frequency. Then only it can be
reinforced. This stage involves some practical application. Where some data is measured in order
to reflect the baseline which drives final outcomes. Without having the baseline implementation
of DA replacement program is not possible.

After completing these stages. The main work comes into focus, where the outcomes are
made compared. If a person is performing DA behaviour or not. In both situations the
reflections or actions would be quite different. If there is no such notion then discrete trials are
carried out. And on the other hands, if there is already such prevalence then incidental teachings
would be skipped (Falck, Davis and Liu-Ambrose, 2017)
Discrete trials can be defined as the set of trials which presents some isolated
opportunities. This helps in teaching a range of verbal or physical imitation skills. And also gives
better understanding about behaviours which can be put on trials by applying this methodology.
This trial is essential for elaborating the behaviour of a person and can also point out the
differences. If the given tasks are performed by a person without having any need of any
additional prompts then it gives need of incidental teaching method.
Incidental teaching method is an observation based method where a person is usually
engaged in target behaviour. There will be range of trials so can check out the entire course of
action in the most appropriate manner. If a person is not able to reach the event which are
intended then it is given some prompt to be engaged with them. It extends better DA behaviours
to the person.
By implementation those non-required factors can be eradicated and a person may get
driven to make its decisions faster. It enables a person perform events in faster manner. Since if
there is any peril then there is huge possibility to get fumbled and the behaviour would not be
appropriate. In such predicaments it is recommended that by implementation of DA replacement
programme which fetches good practise and reduce the barriers in events.
A person can go with higher and reliable rate in term of its target behaviour, if there is
any barrier then a person would be driven to make slower decision and there will be existence of
some elements which will somehow impact the functions of a person and the decision making
process will go down. It is often seen that some behaviours get driven only if there are some
stimuli they are depended on other events (Kabir and Papadopoulos, 2019)
For example- if there is target behaviour is yelling or kind of tantrums, and the function
is accessing food items. Delay in this course of action is so much likely to happen. At the same
time, the most unlikely conviction is delay after eating or at the time eating. Keeping these ideas
into consideration, a betterment plan can be imparted. If a person denies accepting complete DA

behaviour then there may be need of some environmental set up which will help in ensuring
behaviour or events without any barrier.
Over the time the biggest issue identified with the implementation of DA replacement
program is hyper rate of DA replacement behaviour. In such predicament it becomes essential to
set up Premack contingency so can reduce the rate of access and can bring better balance. The
process is quite gigantic since it paves the way for brining better practise and a person and
identify its behaviour in more affluent manner.
CONCLUSION
From the essay above it can be twigged that the process of implementable DA
replacement option program. Which was intended to bring better changes on the level of
behaviour. It was primly important since the analysis has presented greater insights showing the
way DA impacts a person and its course of events. The essay elaborated that process by which
implementation of DA replacement program can be carried out.
