Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, Roger was wearing green underwear when he aced his calculus test at the beginning of the s

B)a variable-interval schedule of reinforcement.
C)shaping.
D)behavior modification.
I would say that superstitions have to do with behaviour modification in the sense that when someone is superstitious, it means that he or she wants to change something in his or her environment in order to have positive results, trusting in what they do believing in that, is the cause for such a result.
