Document Summary
Covert behaviour: cannot directly observe from the outside. These behaviours respond to the basic laws of condiioning o o. Can become css, which in turn elicit responses. S e l f- c o nt r o l. What are some diiculies we might encounter??? (in trying to change our behaviours) We have other, more rewarding behaviours that give immediate saisfacion (e. g. eaing junk food) the punishment of these behaviours is usually not immediate, more long term (e. g. gaining weight takes more ime) Controlling response: serves to alter frequency of the controlled response, something that you do in order to manage whether you"re going to do the other behaviour. Only bring to sick to your shopping budget that day, leave credit card at home. Controlled response e. g. how much money you"re going to spend when you go to the mall (i"m only going to spend )
