Development of Interests in Autism Children Using Applied Behavior Analysis
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor's thesis deals with developing interests of children with ASD using applied behavior analysis. The main objective was to determine how long it takes to arouse interest in an object (toy) for a child with ASD and how long the child would interact with this new object. The development of interests was explored within the framework of systematic pedagogical interventions with four children with ASD in a special education primary school for a period of five weeks. Favourite activities were paired with neutral objects, transforming the neutral stimulus into an object that children would seek out. The thesis includes a brief introductory presentation on the issue of autism and the basic principles of applied-behavior-analysis-based interventions. Furthermore, the progress of the research inquiry, summary, and discussion of findings are presented in detail.

Supporting self-care skills in children with autism spectrum disorder through applied behavioral analysis methods
Bergmannová, Klára ; Bartoňová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Květoňová, Lea (referee)
The thesis deals with the problem of learning self-care skills in children with autism spectrum disorder through the methods of applied behavior analysis. The theoretical part of the thesis presents the legislative framework of education in the Czech Republic with a focus on special education counselling and the provision of support measures in education. Furthermore, autism spectrum disorders are characterized and the basic theoretical foundations of applied behavior analysis are defined. The empirical part of the thesis is divided into two parts, the first of which aims to present the theoretical foundations of the problem of toilet training, developed mainly from foreign literature, as well as foreign studies conducted on the topic. The second part of the empirical part of the thesis contains a case study of two children with autism spectrum disorder. In the preparation of the empirical part of the thesis, the following techiques were used: analysis of the studied literature, review of foreign studies, document analysis and case study. The informants of the case study were two children with autism spectrum disorder who were trained in toilet training through applied behavior analysis methods. The case study is based on data from a behavioral intervention focused on toilet training. By analysing...

Function of positive reinforcement in a learning process.
Mrkosová, Dominika ; Hájková, Vanda (advisor) ; Květoňová, Lea (referee)
Diploma thesis focuses on effect of positive reinforcement and it's application in the learning process. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and analytical. Theoretical part describes importance of positive reinforcement in a learning process and behavior overall. How organisms acquire new skills and how effective teaching methods look like. Analytical part provides practical use of positive reinforcement in an effective teaching method called Discrete Trial Teaching. It's application, use, and correct implementation is provided through an example of teaching a motor imitation behavior.
