Question 1

Shaping ________ (is / is not)the appropriate procedure to use if you want to strengthen an existing behavior.​

Accepted Answer

is not​

Question 2

Why is it important to move from reinforcing one approximation to the next approximation at a proper pace?​

Accepted Answer

Reinforcing one approximation too many times make it difficult to move to the next step;the individual may continue to engage in the previous approximation.At the same time,if the person does not master one approximation,it may be impossible or at least difficult to progress to the next step.​

During shaping what is responsible for the emergence of novel behaviors?​

Accepted Answer

A)  ​respondent conditioning 
B)  ​extinction burst 
C)  ​instructions 
D)  ​successive approximations 
A)  ​respondent conditioning 
B)  ​extinction burst 
C)  ​instructions
