Methods and strategies used to change habits or behaviors by adjusting the environment, rewards, or consequences. In practice, behavior modification might look like a sticker chart for completing homework, a rule of “no video games until study time is done,” or giving praise and small rewards to reinforce good study habits. It’s rooted in behavioral science – by consistently rewarding positive actions (and sometimes ignoring or gently discouraging negative ones), students can gradually replace procrastination and other bad habits with better routines.
