The two major characteristics of behavior modification include positive or negative punishment and reinforcement. Children understand their behavioral choices through lead choices from positive consequences. The model helps children take action on their choices and avoid negative outcomes (Gunawan et al., 2018).

Difference between methodological and radical behaviorism
