Ch. 9 Shaping

QuestionAnswer
steps of shaping 1. define target behavior 2. determine whether shaping is the appropriate procedure 3. identify the starting behavior 4. choose the shaping steps 5. choose the reinforcer to use in the shaping procedure 6. differentially reinforce each successive app
in shaping, the first behavior chosen for reinforcement is called ________ starting behavior or first approximation
What 2 behavioral principles are involved in differential reinforcement? 1. reinforcement 2. extinction
_______ is used to develop a target behavior that a person does not currently exhibit. shaping
_______ is defined as the differential reinforcement of successive approximations of a target behavior until the person exhibits the target behavior. shaping
shaping steps ex) babbling--> word sounds---> part words---> whole words---> strings of words---> sentences successive approximations
to begin shaping, you identify an existing behavior that is an approximation of the target behavior. starting behavior or first approximation
In what ways can shaping be used? 1. generating a novel behavior (language in a young child) 2. reinstating a previously exhibited behavior (walking) 3. changing some dimension of an existing behavior (using the restroom)
what is differential reinforcement? reinforcing each successive approximation that is closer to the target behavior while not reinforcing the previous successive approximation (reinforcing each step closer to the target behavior) EX) babbling---> parents praise child word sounds ----> pa
Shaping can be used for 3 different outcomes. List them and provide an example 1. to generate a novel behavior (child learning to talk) 2. to reinstate a previously existing behavior (walking) 3. change some dimension of an existing behavior (talking louder in class)
You would NOT use shaping when _________ could be used to get the person to engage in the target behavior. modeling, instructions, or other prompts
The steps in a shaping procedure are called ______________ successive approximations
It is important to use a conditioned reinforcer during shaping for 2 reasons. So the reinforcer can be delivered _______ after the behavior and so that the reinforcer does not lose its effectiveness through __________. immediately ; satiation
it is important to use a ________ reinforcer to avoid satiation during shaping. conditioned
_________ is a behavior that more closely resembles the target behavior. successive approximations
_____________ is a procedure in which a reinforcer follows a specific desirable behavior but other undesirable behaviors are not reinforced differential reinforcement
what is the result of differential reinforcement? an increase in the desirable behavior and decrease/extinction of undesirable behaviors ex) child babbling ----> word sounds ----> part words ---> words **parents praise child for each successive approximation but do not reinforce the previous approximat

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
