Last week, you wrote an introduction and an outline(attached) in preparation for this week’s Changing Habits Essay. Use these items to flesh out a well-organized, well-written plan detailing how to change this habit, using operant conditioning, in a 2-page essay. You may revise your intro and/or the points you included on your outline last week–in fact, you are encouraged to do so! Writing is a process, and revision is key. Your essay should have an introduction stating the habit you will discuss and a conclusion discussing whether you think you will be successful.
Reminders:
Reinforcers are used to increase a behavior and punishers are used to decrease a behavior. Which will you use?
What kind of schedule of reinforcement will you use? Why?
Will you use the concept of shaping as you try to change this habit? You may want to consider using the steps of behavior modification (outlined in your textbook) to help with this assignment.
