Laura would like to shape the tidiness of her husband, who always leaves his clothes in a pile on the floor at the end of the day instead of throwing them in the clothes hamper, which is in the laundry room. She begins by providing him with lavish praise and offering to make him a nice dinner when he puts his clothes in a heap in the laundry room rather than in a heap on the bedroom floor. Now, he is consistently putting his clothes in a heap in the laundry room. Next, she plans to provide praise and a nice dinner only if her husband sorts his laundry into whites and colors and puts his laundry into the appropriate laundry basket. What do you think about her plan?

Answer:Her plan is good and it seems to be effective especially as she is being consistent with it.

Explanation: she did it with him to put his laundry in the right place and he did, next it was with folding the laundry and he kept doing it.

Men appreciate being acknowledged for what they do so she is able to manipulate his mind by complimenting what he does whilst she is be benefiting by having to deal with

less laundry that is placed in the wrong place all over the house.

The compliments that goes with the actual reward makes the process and the effort worth it to do the right thing and it also encourages him to do more of what his wife asks for.
