Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Shaping is
A
a pattern of responses that must be made before classical conditioning is completed
B
rewarding behaviors that get closer and closer to the desired goal behavior
C
completing a set of behaviors in succession before a reward is given
D
inhibition of new learning by previous learning
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Shaping is a form of behavior modification based with operant conditioning. Through the process of successive approximation, behaviors that are closer and closer to a target behavior are progressively rewarded with positive reinforcement.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Positive reinforcement refers to the introduction of a desirable or pleasant stimulus after a behavior. The desirable stimulus reinforces the behavior, making it more likely that the behavior will reoccur.

Detailed explanation-4: -Shaping is an operant conditioning method in which you reward closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior.

Detailed explanation-5: -Behavioral shaping, or behavior-shaping, is a strategy for changing a person’s behavior through rewards. Essentially, it is shaping or molding a certain behavior pattern. Behavior-shaping was first studied and defined by B.F.
