Behavior Modification

Had to but this book for a advanced behavioral modification course. I really like this book because each chapter is broken down into manageable parts that is easy to prepare for. The quizzes on the end of each chapter as well as the test really prep you for the midterm and final.

Wonderful

This book is a fantastic overview of behavior modification and behavior principles. It contains clear cut and helpful examples that illustrate concepts well. There are also quizzes after eachchapter to ensure you have learned important information.

Excellent book discussing real psychology

This book has increased my understanding of human behavior greatly. The method of behavior modification proposed here does not make assumptions about inner mental states, but it discusses what we are able to measure directly. The book contains tons of examples, not only technical definitions. The chapters are easy and fun to read

Teacher/student friendly

Easy reading. Lots of REAL-LIFE examples to demonstrate the principles and procedures. This is my FAVORITE behavior book, I refer to it all of the time!!!

Clear overview of behavior principles

I read this book to deepen my knowledge in the area of behavior modification. I especially liked the succinct and clear examples and the discussion of applications and misapplications of each procedure. Thereby, one learns the strenghts and possible pitfalls of behavior principles when applying to daily life. Throughout the book, the author uses easy to understand language and urges the reader to apply the learned principles to his own self-management projects. Very comprehensive and recommendable!
