"Shaping - Successive approximations of a required/-desired response are reinforced until that response is fully learnt: - In the beginning each and every success is reinforced with a reward, no matter how small the success. - Once the desired response is learnt the reinforcer immediately follows it, every time it happens. - Once learnt the behavior, in many cases, the organism may not need reinforcement since many behaviors are self-reinforcing e.g. learning to play a musical instrument.
