Given an example of how shaping can misapplied to inadvertently shape a problem behavior.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Diagram an example of shaping. Select a behavior to shape, analyze the response class, and make a diagram that shows how the shaping process might proceed. Your diagram should show at least 4 shaping steps. At each step, make it clear what response receives reinforcement and what occurs for the previously reinforced response. Also, be sure to indicate how response differentiation would be expected to occur (i.e., what responses do you expect to increase and what responses do you expect to decrease?).

Answer to Question 1

should consist of a behavior being required to become progressively more inappropriate in order to obtain reinforcement.

Answer to Question 2

However the diagrams should look similar to those shown in the PowerPoint slides. That is, at each step, the successive approximation should receive reinforcement and increase, and the previous step should be placed on extinction and decrease.
