Final answer:
The statement is false. Behavior modification suggests paying attention to desirable behavior, not undesirable behavior.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'Proponents of behavior modification suggest the best way for teachers to stop a child's undesirable behavior is to pay greater attention to the child' is False.
Behavior modification techniques focus on reinforcing positive behaviors rather than giving attention to negative behaviors. By reinforcing desirable behaviors, teachers aim to increase those behaviors and decrease undesirable ones. Paying greater attention to a child's undesirable behavior may unintentionally reinforce that behavior instead of discouraging it. Therefore, it is more effective for teachers to pay more attention to and reinforce the child's desirable behaviors.
