For this assignment, you will be creating a hypothetical operant conditioning and observational learning scenario. Be creative with your examples!

Choose a behavior that you would like to change (either your own behavior, someone you know or an animal in your life) and use the techniques of operant conditioning and observational learning to change this behavior. You can use a different behavior to change for each type of learning or you can use the same behavior.

Explain how you would use operant conditioning to increase a desired behavior in an organism by answering the following questions. (Please be very specific and detailed in your answers and write in full sentences.)

1. What is the target behavior and the person and/or animal that is part of this scenario?

2. Why did you choose this behavior?

3. In your example, will you use positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, or negative punishment? Why?

4. What are the challenges to getting the organism to do the target behavior?

5. Are there biological, personal or cognitive limitations in your example?

6. What type of reinforcers and reinforcement schedule did you use and why?

7. How would you shape through successive approximations? (If you already included this in your example explanation, you can skip this question.)

8. How would you prevent against generalization?

9. How would you extinguish the response?

10. How would you check for spontaneous recovery?

Should a counselor remain value-objective about controversial issues presented by a client (such as abortion, suicide, adultery, drug use, domestic violence, child abuse, etc.)? Some counselors might argue that they should not express their values or criticize their clients for these behaviors, while others would say that expressing moral judgment is appropriate. Consider the information above and chapter 3 of the textbook. Write a 1,000-1,250-word paper addressing the following: Analyze the ethical implications of a counselor expressing their values to a client. Identify actions a counselor might take when confronted with clients they find difficult to treat due to differences in values/beliefs regarding one or more of the following issues: abortion, suicide, adultery, drug use, domestic violence, child abuse Identify factors that might lead a counselor to consider referring a client with any controversial issues to another counselor. Describe steps a counselor should take if referral is not an option. Be sure to use the ACA and NAADAC codes of ethics as guidelines when constructing your paper. Include three additional scholarly resources in your paper.
