Directions
In Week 2, you chose a behavior that you want to change in order to improve your study and/or work habits. MINE WAS MULTITASKING
Now that you know more about operant and classical conditioning, it is time to develop a plan for how to execute those changes. After your plan is approved, you will implement than plan over the next couple of weeks before turning in a final report on the project.Describe a detailed, step-by-step program of behavioral treatment using one or more forms of operant conditioning and/or classical conditioning.
For each step, identify the process(es) you will employ, the specific steps of the proposed procedure(s), the intended behavioral outcome(s) of the procedure(s), and the consequences of reaching or not reaching that outcome. Include information about how you will measure and document your behavior.
Use terminology learned in class whenever possible.
Make your plan clear and specific enough that you could give the report to someone else and they could carry out the treatment exactly as you intended it.
Remember, focus on observable behavior, not on underlying mental processes.
Take this seriously and develop a plan that will work and be long-lasting – after all, even though this is just a small step, this project has the potential to help you succeed throughout your college career and beyond.
Write as much as you need in order to present a clear and comprehensive description and analysis of the project.
