1. What in your environment does or does not occasion behaviour?
Example: drinking fewer soft drinks Keep water bottle on desk
Fill water bottle up every morning as part of routine
Remove soft drinks from fridge
Take coins out of purse
Put alternative drinks on shopping list
Your environment – use antecedents

2. Change your motivation
Example: avoiding buying an unhealthy lunch Pack a lunch so that you aren’t hungry Pack snacks so you can eat regularly Pack a big lunch so you’re not hungry later on Pack foods that fill you up
Your environment – use antecedents

3. Decrease effort for behaviour you do want / increase effort for behaviour you don’t
Example: getting to work on time (decrease effort) Choose clothing the night before Set breakfast items out the night before Drive rather than walk
Example: buying fewer coffees (increase effort) Leave cash in the car
Park further away from the cafe
Your environment – use antecedents

Premack’s principle
Gran’s rules:▪Work before play▪Dinner before dessert
= Premack (1959), a more-preferred behaviour can be used to reinforce a less-preferred behaviour
How can we apply this to our daily lives?

Deal with that horrible email you’ve been
avoiding when you
first arrive at work Do the ironing before you bake cookies
Go to the gym before binge-watching Strictly Come Dancing
Alternate 30 min
of writing a report
with 30 min of
reading a good
book

Stop nagging, start acknowledging

Stop and consider – does it work? If not, change it up!
ACKNOWLEDGE

Ignore
Behaviours you don’t want

Problem with unpleasant consequences
We assume that pointing out what we don’t want says what we do
Often makes the deliverer feel better ‘Unpleasant’ is in the
eye of the receiverPositive consequences
are more motivating

Helping others (and yourself)
Why don’t people do things (well/correctly/at all)?They didn’t know they had toThey aren’t motivated
▪Nothing in it for them▪Task isn’t enjoyable
They don’t have the skill▪Complexity of task▪Novelty of task 17

Good training involves…

1. Describe what to do2. Show what to do3. Observe and provide feedback4. Repeat 1, 2, and 3 until competencyAvoid too much ‘what’ and not
enough ‘how’Knowledge versus skillA person has only acquired the skill

The best way to decrease the behaviours we don’t like is to
increase the ones we do
