(Graph for step two will be in additional materials. And I need the subject to be on vaping.) Scroll all the way down to see all directions.
Step 1
Choose the reinforcers or punishments
Now that you better understand your behavior, identify either a punishment or reinforcer (or both) that might influence your target behavior. For example, a reward could be extra time on social media while a punishment could be less time on social media. Remember that this is just a simulation, so be kind to yourself.
You want to identify reinforcers or punishments that will motivate you to change your target behavior.
Step 2
Data Collection
Create and implement your operant conditioning plan for one full week and track your data. Your data tracking should look something like this:
Step 3
Reflection
After you’ve finished the self-study, you’ll write 1-2 pages about your project describing the intervention, and the results of the simulated experiment. You will also turn in your tracking data as well.
Your 1-2 page reflection should be typed so that you can submit it here, and you can also submit your tracking data by typing it up on in the template.
Please answer the following questions in complete sentences:
Did you observe any changes in behavior while implementing your intervention compared to your baseline data? Be specific and discuss your tracking data here.
What was the overall effect of the self-study on your behavior? Did your program work?
Did you make any adjustments to your plan because of what you noticed working or not working?
Knowing what you know now, would you have done anything differently? If so, please include changes you would have made. If not, explain why.
How do you see yourself using operant conditioning in the future? In what contexts? Did the experiment match your expectations?
Remember to submit your response in APA format.
