Identify the law being described:

The law of use
What is the A-B-C model?
A (antecedent) -> B(behavior)->C(consequence)
What broad program has been commonly applied in diverse contexts to promote adaptive behaviors?
Behavior modification programs
Identify the unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned stimulus, the unconditioned response and the conditioned response:

contiguity- implies that a behavior in a situation will be repeated when that situation recurs (Schunk, 90).
This occurs when learners verbally instruct themselves what to do and then perform the appropriate behavior.
Cognitive behavior modification
What is being described:
A child is conditioned to cry at the sight of a needle when at the doctors office. Now whenever the child is at the doctor's office, the child cries when they see any small metal object being used on them.

Identify the process being described:
An individual can run 4-5 miles for their exercise. This individual wants to run a marathon in the next year.

As time goes on the training can be altered based on the progress of this individual.
