Question

I'm putting together results from people and the behaviors they picked. For this one could you write about procrastination or spending more time studying? Using Learning Techniques to Change Behavior

Directions:

Step 1: Pick a behavior that you would like to change. For example maybe you want to spend more time studying, stop biting your nails, or keep your room neater.

Step 2: Operationally define the behavior: Operational definition is a very specific definition and explains how you will measure the behavior. For example, if your behavior is “more time studying” you might operationally define that as reading, writing, and/or taking notes for at least 2 hours 5 days a week.

Step 3: Then use the three types of learning to develop a program to change your behavior. Write at least 1 paragraph (minimum of 100 words) for each type and use at least 3 terms in each paragraph.

Answer 1

• The behaviour I would like to change is too much engagement with internet , phones and avoidance of physical exercise
• (a) daily physical exercise for 1 hour(This can include walking, aerobics, yoga etc) (b) No phone usage from 4 pm - 7.30 pm (During this time I can spend family time, play with my pets/ play some games)
• The different types of learning implied for changing behaviour are: (a)Classical conditioning: Setting an alarm/motivational song at 4 pm which is associated with the time to go out for a walk or engage in some other activities. (b)Operant conditioning: To follow the schedule routinely otherwise access to the internet connection will become limited and regulated to only 2GB or so.The less amount of internet connection can act as a privilege loss for increased internet usage. (c) Observational learning: A social learning that is persuaded through observation.The individual can be a part of group(s) that intends for the same objective of ' importance of exercise' ; ' cooking classes', ' sports classes' etc.

Good Luck!
