Question

which of the following is the third step of shaping behavior? establish a baseline define the successive approximation provide reinforcement identify the target behavior

Explanation:

The steps of shaping behavior are: 1. Identify the target behavior, 2. Establish a baseline, 3. Define the successive approximation, 4. Provide reinforcement. So the third step is to define the successive approximation.

Answer:

B. define the successive approximation (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A as establish a baseline, B as define the successive approximation, C as provide reinforcement, D as identify the target behavior)
