A girl in your classroom rarely interacts with her classmates. She is obviously quite lonely but apparently has no confidence in her ability to make friends. Describe how you might help the girl develop social skills through shaping.
In your discussion, be sure to include:
a. The specific behavior(s) you would shape
b. A specific reinforcer you might use, as well as a justification for your choice
c. The sequence of steps you might take as you shape the desired behavior
Question 2
Jason has difficulty paying attention and staying on task during class. He is not a discipline problem in the sense that he distracts other students. Instead he simply spends his time drawing pictures in his notebook.
Nevertheless, he clearly is not achieving important classroom objectives. Explain how you might use each of the following techniques to improve his classroom behavior:
a. Cueing
b. Contingency contract
c. Shaping
For each technique, be specific and concrete as to what you might do.
