Behavior Modification Unpacked: Reinforcement, Punishment, and Beyond

If you eliminate a behavior, you have to replace it with at least one, preferably three new ones.
Ever wondered how reinforcement and punishment can shape behavior? Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes dives deep into this fascinating topic in her latest episode of the Counselor Toolbox Podcast. She breaks down complex terms like reinforcement, punishment, extinction, burst, and the pre-mech principle, making them easy to understand and apply. Dr. Snipes explains how these principles can be used effectively in motivational interviewing to inspire behavior change. She also explores the power of token economies in keeping people motivated during treatment.
But it doesn't stop there. The episode also covers the importance of replacing old behaviors with new ones, cognitive clarity in decision-making, and even touches on power dynamics in the workplace. Whether you're a professional in the field or someone looking to understand behavior better, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to discover how understanding these principles can help you or your clients make meaningful changes.
