Shaping: A Step-by-Step Approach
Shaping is the process of teaching a new behavior by reinforcing small steps towards that behavior.
It involves reinforcing minor improvements toward the new behavior in a step-by-step manner.
Shaping is an extremely useful technique for behaviors that are:
Inconsistent (Low Rate)
Non-existent
Very complex
