Skinner described thinking, decision-making, problem-solving, and self-awareness as behaviors subject to the same principles as overt actions. Using this framework, analyze a recent experience where you engaged in "thinking" or "problem-solving."

1. Describe the situation and the covert or overt behaviors involved.
2. Identify any environmental manipulations or techniques (e.g., making lists, shuffling stimuli, asking questions) that influenced your behavior.
3. Reflect on how understanding the behavioral principles behind your actions (e.g., reinforcement, rules, contingencies) might improve your future decision-making or self-awareness
