A Behavior Analyst’s Guide to Supervising Fieldwork: Shaping [Shaping is the differential reinforcement of successive approximations of a target behavior. To shape a behavior, a clinician would differentially reinforce closer approximations to the terminal behavior and also place earlier approximations that have been mastered on extinction. Shaping can be used to modify the topography, duration, rate, and other dimensions of a target behavior.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Shaping is the differential reinforcement of successive approximations of a target behavior. To shape a behavior, a clinician would differentially reinforce closer approximations to the terminal behavior and also place earlier approximations that have been mastered on extinction. Shaping can be used to modify the topography, duration, rate, and other dimensions of a target behavior.]
