Hi! Welcome back to BT Exam Review. Today we are reviewing shaping and shaping behavior. Shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations of behavior using differential reinforcement. Shaping can be done across and within behaviors. Shaping can be used for several dimensions of behavior. RBT® and BCBA® need to know these terms for the RBT® exam and the BCBA® exam.

Question: If shaping is good for teaching new behaviors (Cooper pg. 545), why is it that changing criterions are not a good design for behaviors that are not within repertoire? Does this mean that for shaping we should use multiple treatment reversal design?

[@ABAExamReview]

Changing criterion designs are meant for behaviors that are already known by the learner. The reason being, each criterion requires the behavior to be emitted more or less. There is no shaping being done in a changing criterion design, rather, just an increase or reduction of an already known behavior. As for your second question, shaping isn't meant for one particular design; it depends on your goals and the target behaviors.
