Prepare a behavior modification plan
Discussion board
Include the following:
Describe operant conditioning.
Select one of the following situations from everyday life in which learning (i.e. a relatively permanent change in behavior) is desirable.
Topic is Biggs Boss wants his employees to arrive on time.
Prepare a behavior modification plan in which you effectively utilize operant conditioning principles to change the behavior of the targeted individual(s).
Clearly identify and describe suitable reinforcers or punishers to attain your desired outcome.
Example:
If he eats his vegetables, I could apply a positive reinforcer by adding something he does like, such as screen time; alternatively, I could apply a negativereinforcer by taking away something he does not like, such as one of his weekly chores.
If he does not eat his vegetables, I could apply a positive punisher by adding something he does not like, such as a new weekly chore; alternatively, I could apply a negative punisher by taking away something he does like, such as screen time.
Defend your use of reinforcement and/or punishment as applied to the scenario. Why did you choose it? Why do you expect it to work?
Apply your knowledge of ethical considerations as relevant to operant conditioning.
