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.
One of the first researchers to study behavior modification was a Russian physiologist named Ivan Pavlov. In the early 1900s, Pavlov discovered that animals could be taught to react in a certain way by connecting a desired behavior with a specific type of positiveor negative reinforcement.
