        • Operant (behavioural)
          • When a response to a stimulus is reinforced
            • Skinner
              • Most behaviourr is learnt
              • Learning takes place as a result of rewards
              • Behaviour will be repeated if there's a reward
            • Positive Reinforcement
              • Pleasurable outcomes

        • Anticedent- what is happening before the behaviour occurs
      • B
        • The behaviour
      • C
        • The consequence of the behaviour
    • Strengths
      • Involes more than just the service user normally
      • A new behaviour can be shaped
      • Includes specific targets
    • Weaknesses
      • Can take a long time

        • The child will be in control
      • Never punish
        • Doesn't guide the child to an alternative behaviour
      • Never become angry
        • Children are likely to imitate angry and abusive behaviour
    • Systematic desensitisation
      • Relaxation technique
      • Person learns how to associate good feelings and thoughts with things
        • Help overcome phobias
