POSITIVE REINFORCERS ASSIGNMENT WEEK 5

What is your favorite dessert? Is it the same as your mom or dad’s favorite? What about your favorite songs? Would your top-10 song list match that of any of your friends or relatives? We all have different likes and dislikes and applying one “best” for everyone will definitely end up disappointing some individuals.

This is important to keep in mind when implementing positive reinforcement to increase the frequency of a behavior. Selecting an appropriate reinforcer is a critical step in behavior modification. A truly effective reinforcer will be specifically selected for the individual.

For this Assignment, you will analyze positive reinforcers. You will identify a behavior in your life that you would like to increase in frequency and select and rank 10 reinforcers that you believe would have the greatest likelihood of increasing the frequency of that behavior.
