List the four ways to modify behavior and give an example of how you can use each way to increase your studying or decrease your time off-task
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The four ways to modify behavior are: 1) Positive reinforcement—I can reward myself for studying for two hours by making time to watch my favorite show. 2) Negative reinforcement—I can set aside two hours to study, but give myself a quiz after the first hour. If I get a 90% or better on my quiz, I can stop studying for the night. 3) Positive punishment—If I am not studying effectively, I will have to study for more hours today. 4) Negative punishment—If I am not studying effectively, I will have to miss watching my favorite show.
