Throughout the semester, we have been discussing principles of operant conditioning and how they are applied in behavior modification. For this project, I want you to choose a behavior of your own (or a pet) that you would like to change. You will then design a behavior modification program to change the behavior. I recommend that you try to establish or strengthen a desirable behavior as it is more straight forward and probably easier to accomplish. For this project you should:
1)Identify the behavior you want to change. Write an operational definition of the behavior.
2)Observe your behavior, and identify the antecedents of the behavior. This could be time, place, the presence of other people, internal emotional state, or something else.
3)Identify the consequences of the behavior.
4)Determine whether the behavior is continuously or intermittently reinforced.
5)Determine what technique(s) would be most effective in changing this behavior.
6)Explain why this technique(s) would be most effective.
7)Create a behavior plan that would be effective in changing your behavior.
8)Indicate how you would collect data to see if your plan is effective.
