- Shaping uses reinforcement to create new behaviors that would not occur spontaneously.
- Shaping involves creating a new behavior by successively rewarding closer and closer approximations to the desired behavior.
- You begin by reinforcing any behavior that is at all similar to the behavior to be learned.
- Later, you reinforce only responses that are closer to the desired behavior.
- Finally, you reinforce only the desired response.
- Shaping can be used to train both animals and people to perform complex behaviors.
