Operant conditioning provides a strong theory and a number of tools that can be applied to behavior
modification. This week, you will be creating a set of behavior modification strategies applying the different
principles of operant conditioning that you learned about in Chapter 12 of your text.
Create a PowerPoint presentation covering the following points. You should be creative in developing these
different strategies. Make sure to read all the way through Chapter 12 so that you can understand the many
different operant principles as you describe how to apply each strategy and which operant principle is being
applied in the strategy. Do not repeat the exact same strategy in more than one situation.
A set of two operant-based strategies for training your new puppy
A set of two operant-based strategies an elementary teacher could put into place with children who are
struggling with behavior issues in school
A set of two operant-based strategies a parent can use with their child to encourage them to keep their room
clean and help with the household chores
A set of two operant-based strategies that you can apply to yourself when wanting to change a behavior (either
stopping an undesired behavior or starting a new desired behavior)
Each slide should focus on just one strategy providing step-by-step procedures for the strategy and an
overview of the operant principle. Headings should be used throughout the presentation to clearly describe the
focus of each slide.
This PowerPoint presentation should be eight to 10 slides in length and written in proper APA format. In
addition to the minimum slide count, you should also include a cover page and a reference page in APA format.
Use a minimum of one source in addition to your textbook to support your points.
