Question

Kyle wants to encourage himself to start exercising. He establishes a plan to give his friend Melanie $500 and have her give him $10 every time he exercises.

Which step in the self-modification program is Kyle demonstrating?

1. specifying which target behavior to change
2. gathering data about target behavior
3. designing a program to increase desired behavior
4. evaluating the effectiveness of the program

Answer 1

Its probably 3
That one makes the most sense

Answer 2

The correct answer is 3.

The self modification program is a manner of learning by the application of conditioning.

In this case, the plan made by Kyle corresponds to step number 3 which comprises the designment of a program to increase the desired behaviour. In this case, the program consists on granting a reward each time that the desired action is performed.
