Modify an Existing Behavior – THINK ABOUT THIS ONE

Choose one behavior that you would like to change. Perhaps you would like to stop chewing your fingernails, stop watching soap operas, start exercising or start increasing your day time study hours. Set up an operant conditioning (behavior modification) program to alter the behavior, and practice it faithfully for 10 days. Record and report on your data. Your text lists a 4-step procedure for using operant conditioning techniques to change a behavior. Use this as a guideline for setting up your plan and for reporting your results
