Overview of Behavioral Modification

The Behavioral Modification Approach involves techniques like rewards and reinforcement to shape behavior, focusing on environmental influences rather than underlying causes. Key principles include the effectiveness of positive reinforcement, the importance of consistent reinforcement, and the use of modeling to demonstrate expected behaviors. This approach emphasizes practice, feedback, and application of learned behaviors in real-life situations.

BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATION
APPROACH
This approach involves a variety of techniques and
methods, ranging from simple rewards to elaborate
reinforcement training. Behaviorists assume that
behavior is shaped by environment and pay little
attention to the causes of the problems.
The basic principles of the behavioral
modification approach are:

1. Behavior is shaped [Link] is strengthened

8. Intermitted reinforcement schedules
include:
a. variable ratio; supplying reinforcement at
unpredictable intervals;
b. fixed ratio, supplying reinforcement after a
preselected number of responses; and
c. fixed interval.
9. There are several
types of reinforcers
each of which may be
positive or aversive.
10. Rules are established and enforced.
Modelling is a well-known system utilized in
various social learning situations. Models are
effective in modifying behavior to the degree that
they capture attention, hold attention, and are
limited. Effective models may be parents, relatives,
teachers, and other adults. Building good discipline
includes the following:
[Link] expected behavior- Explaining to
the students what they see and hear.
[Link]- The degree of attention correlates with the
characteristics of the student.
[Link]- The students are given opportunity to
practice the appropriate behavior.
[Link] feedback- Appropriate behavior is
reinforced; inappropriate behavior is suppressed and
corrected.
[Link]- The students are able to apply their
learning in classroom activities (role-playing, modeling
activities) and other real-life situations.
