Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Skinner's behavior modification techniques prioritize the assessment of specific behaviors that need to be modified or changed. It is essential to identify and describe the behavior itself before formulating any interventions or strategies to modify it. Genetic factors, parenting style, and childhood memories are important in certain contexts but are not the primary focus of behavior modification based on Skinner's theories.
