In this TMA I, will evaluate the usefulness of conditioning for our understanding of human behaviour. To begin with I look at what conditioning is and how the understanding of this phenomenon developed. Furthermore, I perceive how conditioning has been applied to human behaviour and what the benefits consist of when the principle of conditioning is applied to human behaviour. Finally, I identify some of the limits to the usefulness of conditioning for understanding human behaviour. First, I…

In order to create a one month behavior modification program based on the principles of operating conditioning, one would have to base the program on the roommate motivation on loosing weight. Once that has been completed then one can start to create a weight loss program that would be the most beneficial for their roommate. Furthermore, to have the most success in the weight loss program one needs to be able to calculate a well devised one that will bring the most success for the roommate.…
