Assignment task: Pick a behaviour you want to change. Then, think about how you could apply the principles of learning we discussed this week to changing that behaviour. Discuss the following:
1. What is your goal? (Consider how specific it is - we know that we are more successful if we set a specific, rather than a broad, goal)
2. How might you use reinforcement in this situation? Consider the type of reinforcement and schedule of reinforcement. Why do you think this type of reinforcement will work?
3. Would punishment be a good idea in this situation, and if so, how would you apply it? If not, why not?
Let's continue to work on our APA citation and referencing.
