We can capitalize on that with rules, and modelling: we should consider an easy alternative consider manipulating a person"s environment first. Verbal stimuli that can control behaviour by specifying required a"s, b"s or. Contingency-shaped behaviour: command or threat: imply that noncompliance will be punished direct-acting effects of consequences in those settings. When rapid behaviour change is desirable: can be quicker than shaping or chaining. When consequences are delayed: rules add a certainty to delayed reinforcers (cid:523)if you"re consistent(cid:524) When natural reinforcers are highly intermittent (rewards are very spread out: rules can remind of a reward, regardless of how distant the reward is. When behaviour will lead to immediate and severe punishment: rules can make the behaviour change without needing to enact the punishment.
