Question

Shaping involves:a.Reinforcing successive approximations to a terminal behavior.b.Creating response differentiation between responses that are closer to the terminal behavior and those that are not.c.Placing responses that are not a closer approximation of the terminal behavior on extinction.d.All of these.

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

SHAPING:  successive approximation and close to the terminal behavior.

All these are the step to get an approximation of any behavior.

steps in an approximation of a terminal behavior:

• Reinforce the positive behavior related to the target behavior.
• Reinforce the response that are closely to the approximation.
• Continue to reinforce the behavior more and more to the approximation.
• Reinforce only targeted behavior.
