Learning Behavior!
One of the wonderful things about learning is that the knowledge and skills that one person possesses can be passed on to others for them to learn as well. Then, it can all be passed on again.
When a study is conducted, it is meant to be replicated to produce similar results. When a behavior is displayed, it is more or less likely to be observed again, depending on the environment. We have the power to change the environment and shape behavior.
If someone can make a change based on the knowledge they have and the methods they use, then another person can use that same knowledge and those same methods to make similar and significant changes to improve the quality of someone’s life.
Let’s learn. Let’s shape behavior. Let’s improve our lives.
