The application of some of the principles of classical and operant conditioning to changing behavior is called behavior modification. Its major goal is to replace unacceptable responses with acceptable ones. Behavior modification is used in many situations, ranging from therapy to child rearing. Ignoring a child's temper tantrum but rewarding that child's polite behavior is an example of a behavior modification procedure.
