Discussion:
Operant conditioning and multiple intelligence
Part I
I need help applying the principles of operant conditioning to modify an existing behavior. Target a behavior to be modified either an undesirable behavior that you would like to eliminate or a behavior that you would like to strengthen. Be sure to include references
• Generate a plausible explanation for why the problem exists.
• Describe at least (1) reason why the behavior must be changed and at least (1) benefit the change will bring.
• Design the program for modifying the behavior, making sure to include all relevant conditioning principles incorporated within the plan (which might include the use of positive and negative reinforcers, punishment, shaping, schedules of reinforcement, modeling, extinction, stimulus discrimination or generalization, primary and secondary reinforcers, and so on,) Include at least (3) steps.
Part II
Design a series of test items that would indicate the different intelligences according to Howard Gardner's Theory of multiple intelligences.
Provide at least (1) original example of how you would test each of the (8) different intelligences. Also be sure to include references
