A Systematic Review Of The Acceptability Of Functional Behavior Assessments And Behavior Intervention Plans, Siani Ym Amidon
A Systematic Review Of The Acceptability Of Functional Behavior Assessments And Behavior Intervention Plans, Siani Ym Amidon
Theses - ALL
Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) are assessment and intervention procedures that are used to address maladaptive behaviors among school children and youth. Kazdin (1977) defined intervention acceptability as the subjective evaluation and judgment of intervention success, which can impact intervention development, effectiveness, and usage. Given the limited research in the field, the purpose of this systematic review was to explore the extent to which acceptability assessments have been conducted regarding FBAs and BIPs and how this information may be used to inform intervention development or modification. PsycINFO and ERIC(EBSCO) database searches identified 11 studies, including a …
(Crip)Ping Art Therapy: Imagining Alternatives To Ableism In Mental Health Treatment, Sara Bessette
(Crip)Ping Art Therapy: Imagining Alternatives To Ableism In Mental Health Treatment, Sara Bessette
Theses - ALL
This paper explores how the lived experiences of disabled art therapists can inform, through a qualitative and arts-based research approach, a theory and possible applications for improving accessibility within the field of art therapy for both disabled persons seeking intervention and for disabled professionals working in the field. The student researcher collected data through interviews with three self-identifying disabled art therapists or art therapists in training. The interviews were transcribed, coded and analyzed to develop a definition of accessibility, along with a grounded theory on how accessibility can be improved within the field of art therapy. The study explored possible …

Performance As Preservation: Constructing Queer Love In Public Memory, Aevyn Barnett
Theses - ALL
Abstract This thesis explores the intersections of queer vernacular photography, queer history, and performance as a means of preservation. The artifacts that are analyzed include a selection of vintage, queer, vernacular photographs (VQVPs) that come from three published collections, as well as The Gay Gala, a performance installation that took place on February 13, 2024, at Syracuse University. The Gay Gala offered a gallery style installation with original photographs and recreated photographs, as well as costume pieces and an area for attendees to recreate their own photographs. Anonymous, written feedback was gathered from attendees during the Gala, which is used …
Contextual And Positional Associations In Free And Serial Recall, Nathan Burns
Contextual And Positional Associations In Free And Serial Recall, Nathan Burns
Theses - ALL
The research in this thesis presents a novel experiment and analyses to characterize effects in episodic memory which have classically been developed using different classes of theories. An encoding design was used which typically offers support for positional coding theory, phonological similarity among words in a studied list, with a recall paradigm which typically offers support for retrieved context theory, free recall. This experiment manipulated recall task, serial recall and free recall, as well as the presence and order of similar items across three possible list types. Analyses focused on differences in recall probability, recall errors, and recall transitions by …
Finding A Spiritual Home: Cultural Context And Literary Interpretation, Linziyu Lu
Finding A Spiritual Home: Cultural Context And Literary Interpretation, Linziyu Lu
Theses - ALL
Centered around the concept of “spiritual home” and the enduring human quest for it, this thesis explores how individuals seek a sense of belonging and meaning from the perspective of cultural evolution and literary expression. This thesis first examines the impact of social change from the Industrial Revolution to the present day on people’s sense of belonging, meaning, and identity, and discusses the factors that have influenced the stabilization of the spiritual home. Then, drawing on literature, this thesis investigates several typical ways in which people find their spiritual home, including in nature, the divine presence, love and relationship, and …
Anti-Automobile Supremacy: Social Media Narratives And The Popular Resistance Against Car-Centric Urban Landscapes, Allen Huang
Anti-Automobile Supremacy: Social Media Narratives And The Popular Resistance Against Car-Centric Urban Landscapes, Allen Huang
Theses - ALL
The purpose of this research paper is to discover the content strategies employed by social media content creators living in North America who try to use their platforms and voices to build a popular counternarrative against the systemic framework of automobile supremacy. Automobile supremacy refers to the systemic prioritization of automobiles as the predominant mode of transportation through intentional design that justifies compulsory consumption while downplaying dangerous consequences. To understand content creator strategies, this study interviewed 25 adult social media content creators who live in North America who regularly share anti-automobile supremacy content and asked them 15 semi-structured questions to …
From Haiti To Durban: Repairing The Crime Against Humanity, Aimee Beatrice Shukuru
From Haiti To Durban: Repairing The Crime Against Humanity, Aimee Beatrice Shukuru
Theses - ALL
Black people have been at the center of the liberation struggle since the transatlantic slave trade that saw black people as property. The various forms of resistance within the struggle have taken many shapes, from jumping off the slave ships in the Atlantic to breaking tools and refusing to work to outright organized resistance that led to a revolution in Haiti that defeated slavery, colonization, and white supremacy that made capital accumulation based on the dehumanization of black people possible. Because the transatlantic slave trade was a global project, black people have demanded nothing short of an international recognition of …
Examination Of The Relationship Between Adhd-Related Symptoms And Pre-Attentive Auditory Processing In A Sample Of Autistic Children And Adolescents, Connor K. Mackenzie
Examination Of The Relationship Between Adhd-Related Symptoms And Pre-Attentive Auditory Processing In A Sample Of Autistic Children And Adolescents, Connor K. Mackenzie
Theses - ALL
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are two of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental conditions that also exhibit a high rate of co-occurrence. This co-occurrence leads to decreased efficacy of interventions and increased levels of impairments. This suggests that it might be relevant to examine the impact of ADHD symptoms on ASD research findings. Given that both these disorders have neurodevelopmental origins that share differences in sensory processing, the study of sensory neurophysiology might be a relevant avenue to explore. Neurophysiology has focused on pre-attentive auditory processing in both conditions compared to the neurotypical population by focusing on a …
Investigating Language Usage In The Language Classroom: A Comparative Analysis Of Operationalization Methods And Implications For Educational Research, Manal Bani Humayyim
Investigating Language Usage In The Language Classroom: A Comparative Analysis Of Operationalization Methods And Implications For Educational Research, Manal Bani Humayyim
Theses - ALL
Multilingual approaches in second language (SL) classrooms, where learners use first language (L1) or any other known language beside the target language (TL), is an issue of ongoing research. While various research methods like word analysis, time analysis, and classroom observation exist, a standardized approach to measuring language use is lacking. Examining the same data set, this study analyzed the frequency of L1 English and TL Arabic use in two language classes through three methods: word count, time analysis, and impressionistic judgments from live observations and made comparisons of results generated by three methods as well as the feasibility. Focusing …
The Effects Of Classification Versus Observation During Category Learning, Enoch Sarakpo
The Effects Of Classification Versus Observation During Category Learning, Enoch Sarakpo
Theses - ALL
We report a category-learning experiment that examines the learning outcomes of classification and observational training methods across three category structures. Thus, we crossed training (classification vs. observation) and category type (natural vs. featural vs. relational). Some subjects classified the stimuli (side-by-side bird pairs) and received corrective feedback after each response, whereas others studied these stimuli, wherein they were presented with the corresponding category label. The posttest was an endorsement task made up of repeated and novel items. We did find an observation training advantage, as subjects in the observation training were better in the natural and relational categories for the …
Examining The Effects Of Writing Interventions On Third-Grade Students’ Reading Comprehension, Monique Antoine
Examining The Effects Of Writing Interventions On Third-Grade Students’ Reading Comprehension, Monique Antoine
Theses - ALL
Writing interventions have proven to be effective in improving students’ reading skills (Graham & Herbert, 2011) but are generally underacknowledged. In the current study, data from a randomized controlled trial examined whether there were differences in third-grade students’ reading comprehension based on whether they received a Performance Feedback + Cover, Copy, Compare intervention (n = 47) or a Performance Feedback intervention (n = 48). Results indicated that students assigned to the Performance Feedback + Cover, Copy, Compare intervention did not improve their reading comprehension to a greater extent than the Performance Feedback intervention. No statistically significant differences were observed in …
Beyond The Brush: How Women Artists Navigate Communication And Creativity Amidst The Rise Of Ai, Carrie Welch
Beyond The Brush: How Women Artists Navigate Communication And Creativity Amidst The Rise Of Ai, Carrie Welch
Theses - ALL
Women artists who use physical paints, canvases, charcoal, and pencils to create their work represent a marginalized group in the art world who may be perceived as distanced or removed from artificial intelligence (AI). While AI, art, feminist aesthetics, and media representation are each areas of rich research, they have not yet been brought together. As art itself is reconsidered alongside the rise of AI, this study conducted 20 in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews with women artists to understand the implications of choosing to incorporate AI into their work, changes to their artistic processes, adjustments to their communications about their work, …
Building A Cinematic World For Queer: Ways Of Winking Back At Barbie (2023), Diana Durk
Building A Cinematic World For Queer: Ways Of Winking Back At Barbie (2023), Diana Durk
Theses - ALL
This essay examines Reddit commentary of the new Barbie film that gave a space for some audience members to connect themselves to the film through queering its plot and characters. Through Reddit commentary, users explored the character design and how characters perform identity within this film and how it relates to their own experiences of gender and identity. This essay excavates how gender identity is communicated within popular culture and the need to queer a film to create one’s own representation. Through the importance of understanding the harm of a binary lens and how the binary gaze creates a stereotypical …
Information Structure By Phase: An Analysis Of Rural Palestinian Arabic, Mahmoud Alawneh
Information Structure By Phase: An Analysis Of Rural Palestinian Arabic, Mahmoud Alawneh
Theses - ALL
This thesis analyzes how the information-structural constituents topic and contrastive focus are syntactically encoded in Rural Palestinian Arabic. In doing so, two original proposals are argued for. First, the syntactic encodement of information-structure is recursive and domain-bound. That is, the same information-structural movements are repeatedly available within multiple domains that differ incrementally from one another in terms of locality: they are available at DP, PP, vP, AspectP, FinP, and ForceP. Second, I argue that, at least in Rural Palestinian Arabic, the information structure literature and the phase theory literature essentially describe the same phenomena, with the central argument being that …
Remembering The Historical Injustice Of Comfort Women And Be(Com)Ing A Witness: A Rhetorical Analysis Of The War & Women’S Human Rights Museum And The Liji Alley Comfort Station Museum, Xinyue Tao
Theses - ALL
In this thesis project, I explore two museums that memorialize the history and trauma of comfort women, which are the Liji Alley Comfort Station Museum in Nanjing, China, and the War & Women’s Human Rights Museum in Seoul, South Korea. I seek to bring these concepts of public memory, museums, materiality, witnessing, and trauma together to think about the ways the memory of comfort women is constructed and conveyed to patrons of museums in China and Korea. This project will add an important global dimension through its comparative focus on spaces in China and Korea. Although China and South Korea …
Relationship Between Resting-State Frontal Alpha Asymmetry And Autism Characteristics Among Neurotypically Developing And Autistic Children And Adolescents, Jarryd Osborne
Theses - ALL
Autism is a heterogenous neurodevelopmental diagnosis associated with deficits in social communication and the presence of repetitive behaviors and sensory differences. While diagnostic criteria are behavioral, these behaviors are thought to arise from atypicalities in the brain. While many studies investigating autism have focused on understanding the neural processes underlying task performance, few have focused on understanding the brain at rest. This is critical, however, as the state of the brain before a stimulus is presented (i.e. its resting state) impacts how it responds to incoming information. Frontal alpha asymmetry, the comparison between alpha frequency power in the left and …
