Differential Reinforcement
|
a procedure in which a specific desirable behavior is followed by a reinforcer but other behaviors are not. The result is an increase in the desirable behavior and extinction of the other behaviors
|
|
Shaping
|
the reinforcement of successive approximations to a target behavior. This is used to establish a novel topography or dimension of a behavior

Successive Approximation
|
In the process of shaping, this a behavior that more closely resembles the target behavior. The shaping process starts with reinforcement of the first approximation, a behavior currently exhibited by the person. After the first approximation is strengthened through reinforcement, it is extinguished. A closer approximation then occurs and is reinforced. this process continues until the person exhibits the target behavior.
