Let's Get Radical

Relying on information learned and read in this class and at least three outside references, write a 5–7 page paper based on the radical behaviorist approach.

The scenario should be based on the following steps outlined in ​Psychology of Learning for Instruction​:

● Set Behavioral Goals:​ Describe the behavior you would like Rad to achieve. ○ Note:​ Consider what you have observed about Rad related to the desired behavior.

● Determine Appropriate Reinforcers:​ Define​ reinforcers​ and explain the reinforcers you chose for the desired behavioral outcome for Rad. Include the primary reasons why these reinforcers are appropriate for Rad, you as the instructor, and the environment.

● Select Procedures for Changing Behavior: ​Describe the procedures you implemented to achieve the desired behavior in Rad and specify the main reasons why you chose these procedures.

● Implement Procedures and Record Results:​ Discuss the implementation of the procedures you chose in Step 3 and create fictional results. Explain the method or methods that you used to observe the results.

● Evaluate and Revise: ​Discuss the method or methods you used to evaluate the effectiveness of your desired behavioral change in Rad and determine the major revisions to your program you may consider in the future.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

● Develop a behavior change plan that includes goals and procedures related to reinforcement, implementation, and evaluation methods.
