Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Operant conditioning, also called instrumental conditioning, is a learning process where behaviors are modified through the association of stimuli with reinforcement or punishment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, we can conclude that reinforcing each small step of progress toward the desired goal until it is learned completely, is known as shaping.
