Behavior Modification: Principles and Procedures

Behavior Modification: Principles and Procedures

• End-of-chapter quizzing includes three fill-in-the-blank quizzes, each containing ten items.
• "Practice Tests" appear at the end of the chapters, with page references for easy review.
• The text's unique organization is based on the principle that students better understand the procedures of behavior modification after first learning the fundamental principles. Chapters 4–8 review the principles underlying operant and respondent behavior, while chapters 9–25 discuss the application of these principles.
• Application Exercises" at the end of each procedures chapter (Chapters 2, 3, and 9–25) provide real-life cases followed by questions that ask students to apply the procedures that are described. "Misapplication Exercises" follow each of the "Application Exercises," providing case studies that ask students to analyze what's wrong with the procedure being applied to the case. Answers to both sets of exercises appear in the Instructor's Manual.
• Numerous clinical and research examples in the application chapters show how principles work in practice.

BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION: PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURES, Fifth Edition, uses a precise, step-by-step, scientific approach to explain human behavior. Case studies and examples illustrate key principles.
