1. Susie has shown up 15 minutes late to her session. The trainer ends the session on time rather than extending it the 15 minutes Susie was late. Which principal of behavioral change will allow Susie to view the consequence of being tardy and correct her behavior in the future? Operant conditioning looks at the causes of certain behaviors and the avoidance of others and uses positive and negative reinforcement. Taking the positive or negative reinforcement into account, a person relates consequences to their behavior.
