Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text describes the use of shaping, which involves reinforcing behaviors that lead to the desired end behavior. In the case of trimming an elephant's feet, the handlers rewarded the elephant for putting his feet near the edge of a trench, eventually leading to the elephant being comfortable enough to have his feet trimmed. Physical restraint and chaining would involve physically forcing the elephant to comply, which can be dangerous and unethical. Episodic training is not mentioned in the text.
