In this episode, we dive into a realistic scenario centered on behaviorism, similar to what you might encounter on the NCMHCE. We explore a case study involving a client struggling with smoking cessation, breaking down critical aspects like reinforcement, punishment, and conditioning. By dissecting the scenario, I’ll guide you through identifying the core behavior, recognizing the reinforcing patterns, and choosing the appropriate behavioral interventions. You’ll also get a chance to tackle sample exam questions, helping you confidently apply behavioral psychology principles as you prepare for the exam.
