In the process of shaping,behaviors are ordered in terms of increasing similarity to the desired response.These behaviors are called:
A)primary reinforcers.
B)successive approximations.
C)secondary reinforcers.
D)unconditioned stimuli.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations of the desired behavior. This means that behaviors that are increasingly similar to the desired response are reinforced in order to eventually shape the behavior into the desired response. The other options – primary and secondary reinforcers and unconditioned stimuli – are related to classical or operant conditioning, but not specifically to the process of shaping.
