undesirable behavior you have had difficulty changing and a more helpful, productive behavior that could replace it
Think about an undesirable behavior you have had difficulty changing and a more helpful, productive behavior that could replace it. (Hint: A behavior is an action and can be easily measured.) Why is this change important to you? What has made it difficult to achieve? Using
principles of operant conditioning theory, provide a detailed desсrіption of a behavior modification plan you could implement to make this improvement, labeling all of the parts. Clearly state which technique you would use and how you would apply your reinforcers or
punishers. ((Hint: Are you increasing a behavior or decreasing a behavior? This will determine if you should use reinforcement or punishment. Are you adding a stimulus or removing a stimulus? This will determine if the reinforcement or punishment is positive or negative.) [unique_solution]Do not simply say, I’m going to reward myself with a treat every time I do x. Use this exercise as an opportunity to explore the barriers to making a change that is important to you and to think critically about how you can effectively use principles of behaviorism to improve your life in some way. Be thoughtful, creative and thorough in your desсrіption – a well-thought-out plan is one that is individualized to you and your particular challenges and motivations; a well-written plan is one the reader could easily implement based on what you have written.
