I’ve always appreciated this one:
Travel Sickness ~ A Funny Poem About A Writer
Travelling by train from Luton to London
To attend a writers' convention
I spotted the chap in the seat opposite
Was reading my latest collection
Feeling my chest swell with authorial pride,
I coughed to attract his attention.
'I see that you're reading my book', I remarked,
Expecting a friendly reception.
Instead, he went red. 'Have it back', he said,
'I was under a misapprehension.
It was on my seat when I boarded the train,
But it's quite beyond comprehension.'
<span>In this quote Poe is telling us that people would never suspect Montresor of the crime which he has committed and this also shows that he is not a man of violence normally. </span>

Answer:
Shaping
Explanation:
In psychology, shaping refers to the process of reinforcing successively closer and closer approximations to a desired terminal behavior.
Shaping has different stages:
- Reinforce any response that in some way resembles the desired behavior.
- Reinforce the response that closely approximates the desired behavior
- Reinforce the response that resembles the terminal behavior even more closely.
- Continue reinforcing closer and closer approximations to the terminal behavior
- Reinforce only the terminal behavior.
As you can see shaping starts by reinforcing any response that resembles the desired terminal behavior and then it finishes by reinforcing only the terminal behavior.
In this example, <u>the therapist initially gave him a piece of chocolate any time he made a sound with his lips</u>. Then <u>he only received a piece of chocolate for saying complete words</u>. Finally, <u>he would get the chocolate for saying complete sentences. </u>
Thus, this is an example of shaping, since the reinforcements where changing as the behavior got closer and closer to the terminal desired behavior.
