 Shaping: Reinforcing increasingly better classroom performance
 Secondary reinforcement: Reinforcing desirable classroom performance using a reinforcer that does not satisfy a physiological need (e.g., praise)
 Vicarious reinforcement: Reinforcing Margot's classmates for appropriate classroom behavior
