A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Principles of behaviour modification

The principles of behaviour modification explain how behaviour is learned, strengthened, weakened, and maintained through environmental conditions. For examination purposes, you must master the basic laws behind reinforcement, punishment, extinction, stimulus control, shaping, and consistency, because these principles guide how behaviour-change programmes are designed and evaluated.
