. Shaping

1. Review the PPT presentation for chapter 4 in “class videos” to review shaping. 

2. Review the shaping example below.

An obstacle to Ellie’s learning at school is that she jumps out of her seat frequently during class. Her teacher is targeting sitting in her seat during lectures as the desired behavior. A baseline measurement determined that Ellie was remaining in her seat an average of no longer than 2 minutes during class.

The teacher analyzed approximations of the target behavior and planned to reinforce those behaviors as follows:

·provide a Reinforcer when Ellie sits in her seat for a 3 minutes

· provide a Reinforcer when Ellie sits in her seat for 5 minutes

· provide a Reinforcer when Ellie sits in her seat for 10 minutes

· provide a Reinforcer when Ellie sits in her seat for 15 minutes

· provide a Reinforcer when Ellie sits in her seat for 20 minutes (the targeted time)

3. Looking at the previous example, how is extinction involved in this shaping procedure?
