AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Shaping is a procedure where closer approximations of the desired behavior are reinforced until the particular behavior is performed by the individual.

Detailed explanation-2: -A modern term for a form of behavior modification that uses shaping techniques to mold a desired behavior or response is. biofeedback.

Detailed explanation-3: -Shaping is the use of reinforcement of successive approximations of a desired behavior. Specifically, when using a shaping technique, each approximate desired behavior that is demonstrated is reinforced, while behaviors that are not approximations of the desired behavior are not reinforced.

Detailed explanation-4: -All reinforcement (positive or negative) increases the likelihood of a behavioral response. All punishment (positive or negative) decreases the likelihood of a behavioral response. Several types of reinforcement schedules are used to reward behavior depending on either a set or variable period of time.

Detailed explanation-5: -Operant conditioning, sometimes referred to as instrumental conditioning, is a method of learning that uses rewards and punishment to modify behavior. Through operant conditioning, behavior that is rewarded is likely to be repeated, and behavior that is punished will rarely occur.
