behavior by withholding a reward that has become habitual.
Teachers employ this strategy in the classroom when they ignore
acting-out behavior that had previously been rewarded by more
attention.
Skinner's behavior model provides a concrete method for modifying
or replacing behaviors. Behavior management and modification
programs based on his principles have shown to be successful in
altering targeted behaviors. Programmed learning and token

Behavioral methods are particularly effective with children,
adolescents, and individuals with many forms of chronic mental
illness.
◉ Universality
