This is a comprehensive test bank for the Twelfth Edition of the textbook Behavior Modification: What It Is and How to Do It, authored by Garry Martin and Joseph J. Pear. The resource includes assessment questions for all 29 chapters of the core text. The content focuses on the systematic application of learning principles and techniques to assess and improve an individual's covert and overt behaviors to enhance their daily functioning. Key concepts addressed include defining and distinguishing between behavioral deficits (too little of a particular behavior) and behavioral excesses (too much of a particular behavior) , the importance of defining problems in terms of specific behaviors , and the role of the environment (stimuli) as variables that affect behavior. The questions also cover the historical foundations of the field, including the contributions of Ivan Pavlov (Classical Conditioning) and Joseph Wolpe (Behavior Therapy for specific phobias)
