Judy wants to keep her apartment clean on a regular basis, however, she is often watching TV, talking on the phone or going to parties. Therefore, her apartment usually remains unkempt. What are the competing behaviors for Judy cleaning her apartment? To make these competing behaviors less likely to occur: How would you remove the discriminative stimulus? How would you present an abolishing
operation? How would you increase response effort?
What will be an ideal response?
The competing behaviors are watching TV, talking on the telephone, and going to parties. To remove the discriminative stimulus, you could hide the remote for the TV, possibly hiding the telephone, and asking friends not to invite her out until her apartment is clean. To present an abolishing operation, you could have her watch 30 minutes of TV so she doesn't want to watch any more, talk on the telephone for 15 minutes so she doesn't feel like talking on the phone, and socializing with friends so that she won't feel like going out. To increase the response effort, you could hide the remote so it would take more effort to watch TV, hide the telephone so it would take more effort to talk on the telephone, and live farther away from friends so that going to parties is more effortful.
