For my experiment I would choose my mom. Sometimes when she comes home from a long day at work she sometimes is too tired and doesn't really feel like making dinner. Me being a growing teenager I am usually looking for a good meal whenever possible and when my mom comes home and says "tough luck I'm too tired" I get quite annoyed. So in order to reduce or possibly stop this behavior of not wanting to cook I set up an experiment to swings things in my favor. The environment is the kitchen at home when she arrives home from work. When my mom smells something good and tasty such as a pie baking or a turkey in the oven she just can't help herself in making more and more food, this impulse to cook/bake more is deirved from smelling something else that is mouth water and that smells delicous. By my lighting scented candles that have the smell of baked goods like cookies, pies, and/or other foods she will hopefully by more likely to bake food when she comes home from work. The overall behavior is her not wanting to bake when she comes home from work, and in order to shape that behavior I will light food scented candles (consequence) in order to make her feel more apt. to make dinner.
