Behaviour modification

The practice has several offshoots that attempt to alter behavior through different actions and has developed throughout the years. Interventions based on behavior analytic principles have been extremely effective in developing evidence-based treatments.

Attempt to describe the behavior that you observe, rather than how you feel about the certain behavior.

Negative reinforcement occurs when an unpleasant stimuli is removed for the desired behavior and strengthens behavior. Do place the child in time-out for a set period that you control. In other words, act, don't yak.

There is no reason to delay getting you or a loved one the appropriate treatment for a Dual Diagnosis. If a student is not in control, an additional minute should be added. No other conversation should ensue. Walker and Shea described the steps to effective shaping: Select a target behavior and define it.

If the teacher yells, "Sit down," the child has received the desired attention by persisting in a negative behavior. If the intervention is successful in modifying the behavior, it must be maintained using schedules of reinforcement and must be evaluated for performance improvement.
