                                                                    Behavior Modification

Individuals often modify their behavior based on what they have learned about the possible consequences of their actions. When an individual learns through experience that a certain behavior results in pleasant consequences, that behavior is likely to be repeated. An unpleasant consequence, on the other hand, discourages further repetition of the behavior. While behavior modification can be observed in experiments, it also occurs frequently in everyday settings, when individuals change their behavior based on what they have learned about the consequences of that behavior.

This happens all the time with kids in schools.

Say, there’s a little boy or girl who’s just starting school. Well, they’re not really used to the rules about proper behavior for a classroom. So, at the beginning, they might, I don’t know, interrupt the teacher, walk around the classroom when they are supposed to be sitting down. You know, just misbehaving in general.

Ok, but what happens? Well, the teacher gets angry with them when they act this way. They may get punished. They have to sit at their desks when everyone else is allowed to go outside and play. And they certainly don’t like that. Soon, they’ll learn that this kind of behavior gets them in trouble. They also learn when they raise their hand to talk to the teacher and sit quietly and pay attention during class, they are rewarded. The teacher tells them she’s proud of them and maybe puts little happy face stickers on their homework. Now their behavior gets a good reaction from the teacher. The kids learn to always act this way in class and not behave the way they used to.

For example, kids are not familiar with all the rules in school when they are just starting school. (예를 들어, 아이들이 처음 학교에 다니면 학교의 모든 규칙에 익숙하지 않다)

Therefore, they might disturb class, interrupt the teacher or walk around the classroom. (그러므로 그들은 수업을 방해하고, 선생님을 방해하고 교실을 돌아다닐 지 모른다)
