B. N. D. P. M. V. A. P. Garvey

B. N. D. P. M. V. A. P. Garvey refers to the foundational principles of behavior modification, often associated with B.F. Skinner. It stands for Behavior, Number, Duration, Pattern, Motivation, and Antecedents. These elements help analyze why a person behaves in a certain way. Behavior is what is observed, while number and duration measure how often and how long actions occur. Pattern identifies recurring behaviors, motivation explains the reasons behind actions, and antecedents are the events or cues that trigger the behavior. Understanding these helps in designing effective interventions to change behaviors.
