Explanation:

Behavior modification is a therapeutic process that is focused on changing any undesirable negative behavior in an individual through the use of positive or negative consequence and biofeedback.

This simply means that, reinforcing desired behaviors and withholding reinforcement for undesired behaviors is most central to the process of behavior modification.

Behavior modification is typically based on operant conditioning principles, through negative or positive reinforcement, undesirable behaviors developed by an individual are mainly replaced with more desirable ones.

Behavior modification can also be used to correct human behaviors or disorders such as enuresis (bed-wetting), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), phobias, etc.

like many students at university, you may be unhappy about the results you attain in exams. you may feel that even with all you are doing there must be something more -- or different-- you could be doing to get better grades. we have all at some time or other heard of that student who only studies a couple of hours for final exams and scores a's every time. we stand in awe of those who seem to breeze through without undue effort and seem to need very little in the way of studying to nail an exam. the reasons for success, in what i think are the vast majority of cases, are less esoteric than many students think: successful students consistently apply a series of productive strategies with view to attaining clearly identified learning and grade goals throughout the academic term.
