behavior that you would like to eliminate or a desirable behavior that you would like to
strengthen.

2. Describe one (1) reason why you want to change the behavior and one (1) benefit
the change will bring.
3. Carefully design a program for modifying the behavior, making sure to include
all relevant conditioning principles incorporated within your plan (which might
include the use of positive and negative reinforcers, punishment, shaping,
schedules of reinforcement, modeling, extinction, stimulus discrimination or
generalization, primary and secondary reinforcers, and so on.) Your plan should
include three (3) steps.
Part B
Design a series of test items that would indicate the different intelligences according to

how you would test each of the eight (8) different intelligences.
