Behaviour Modification Research Paper

Behaviour modification is a process where the aim is to improve a child’s environment in order to encourage appropriate behaviour and discourage inappropriate behaviour. This is done by the use of systematic reinforcement. Behaviours which are reinforced tend to be repeated whereas behaviours which are ignored tend to be extinguished. A basic plan of substituting bad behaviour patterns for good behaviour patterns and reinforcing the good, has been proven to be an effective way of changing
behaviour.
