Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rule for the use of behaviour modification is to not punish in front of others. Punishment should be delivered in a private setting to avoid embarrassment or shame for the person being punished. A and B are not correct because using the most powerful rewards or punishment feasible and scheduling rewards continuously can lead to desensitization and decrease the effectiveness of the behavior modification. C is not correct because creating a long interval between rewards or punishment and the observed behaviour can also decrease the effectiveness of the behavior modification by not providing timely feedback.
