Part A

will apply the principles of operant conditioning to modify an existing
behavior. Target a behavior to be modified, either an undesirable behavior that
you would like to eliminate or a desirable behavior that you would like to
strengthen.

for why the problem exists.
2. Describe one (1) reason why you
want to change the behavior and one (1) benefit the change will bring.
3. Carefully design a program for
modifying the behavior, making sure to include all relevant conditioning
principles incorporated within your plan (which might include the use of
positive and negative reinforcers, punishment, shaping, schedules of
reinforcement, modeling, extinction, stimulus discrimination or generalization,
primary and secondary reinforcers, and so on.) Your plan should include three
(3) steps.
