Sight & smell of food signals that a positive reinforcement will subsequently occur stimulus-control interventions with patients who are attempting to alter their health habits take 2 approaches: 1. ridding the environment of discriminative stimuli that evoke the problem behaviour: creating new discriminative stimuli signalling that a new response will be reinforced. Self-control of behaviour individual who is target of intervention acts as his or her own therapist, with outside guidance, learn to control antecedents & consequences of target behaviour to be modified. Self-reinforcement- involves systematically rewarding self to increase or decrease occurrence of a target behaviour.
