- Select a Human Subject—Somebody you know, possibly yourself.
- Set a goal that you want to accomplish over a two-week period (keep it behavioral).
- Choose the reinforcers (positive or negative) that you are going to use
- You are NOT to use punishment for this assignment.
- Discuss how you used the process of shaping in your conditioning assignment.
- Results—did you achieve your goal? (Graphic summary would be appropriate and is required)
- Discussion—you are free to discuss at length relevant information related to your conditioning assignment (i.e., use of appropriate conditioning terminology would be a good thing to see here—discriminative stimulus, schedule of reinforcement, generalization, etc.). Why was it a success or failure? What would you do different next time?
You should record your progress at least once per day.
Length of write-up—2 pages + graph.
