Document Summary

Behaviour modification psych 2440 - assignment 1: units 1 4. Chapter 1: cognitive behaviours are internal behaviours that cannot be readily observed by others, such as imagining or self-talk. This term is not referring to private activities or actions such as changing clothes but rather behaviours that occur inside the person. As an example, think of a soccer player heading to the top of the penalty box right before taking the last penalty shot in a shoot-out. As the athlete sets up to take the shot, he or she engages in a private self-talk that might sound something like, you can do this. Likely the athlete will feel nervous and will have an elevated heart rate. This concept can also be used to change behaviour (called cognitive behaviour therapy) by methods such as self-help cd"s: dimensions of behaviour are elements of behaviour that are able to be measure.
