ABA shaping

A shaping program incorporates all of the following, EXCEPT:

• The learner is required to reach a higher goal before receiving reinforcement

• The learner is reinforced for achieving short-term goals in order to reach target behavior

• The learner is reinforced for performing the entire, original target behavior

• The learner is required to self-reinforce for each successive approximation
  

The goal of the shaping intervention is ______

A shaping program should be continued until the student can _____.

• reinforce his/her own behavior

• demonstrate the first step of the desired behavior

• demonstrate the appropriate behavior

• teach the correct behavior to other students

Which of these is NOT a step in the shaping process?

• Punishing behavior that deviates from the terminal behavior.

• Reinforcing a response that closely approximates the terminal behavior.

• Stopping the reinforcement of previously reinforced responses.

• Reinforcing any response that resembles the terminal behavior.

To enhance efficiency we can use all except:

• discriminative stimulus

• models

• consulting

• physical guidance

The first step in the shaping process is:

• identifying the first behavior to reinforce

• considering the nature of behavior

• eliminating interfering stimuli

• limiting the number of approximations at each level

Clicker Training focuses on stopping the behavior, not building behavior.

• true

• false
