Behavior modification is the application of experimentally established principles of behavior to problems of behavior. Currently, it draws most heavily from studies, not theories, in the areas of learning and motivation, although behavior modification is not restricted to these areas.
Reinforcement is the most important principle of behavior and a key element of most behavior change programs. It is the process by which behavior is strengthened, if a behavior is followed closely in time by a stimulus and this results in an increase in the future frequency of that behavior. The addition of a stimulus following an event that serves as a reinforcer is termed positive reinforcement.
