STEP 1: Your assignment is to choose one of your OWN behaviors that you would like to modify, using the conditioning principles you learned about in the text and from the videos. Consider bad habits you might be interested in changing, such as biting your nails, not exercising, etc. You can utilize principles of classical or operant conditioning, recruit others to help you, employ successive approximations, and shaping and modify schedules of reinforcement in order to improve your life.

In support of a successful project the following suggestions are made: 

• Select a new change project so you can approach with a fresh perspective, applying what you are learning this week.
• Strive to spend at least 5 solid days devoted to this project in order to see solid results. Please get started right away.
• Journal thoughts and results. This will help quantify results and help frame discussion of the outcome(s) observed.

STEP 2: Write a 1- to 2-page paper (300-500 words) that explains your project, the type of conditioning you used, and the methods and procedures used to execute your project. You should explain the process of shaping the behavior and utilize any or all appropriate vocabulary. Finally, include a discussion of the results and an analysis of recommendations for improvement or future changes. Be sure to cite all sources, including your Saylor (2015) textbook
