Shaping and chaining are strategies for teaching complex behaviors that are often confused. PTB founder Dana Meller makes the differences clear.

The emergence of the target novel behavior produced by differential reinforcement, during a shaping procedure, in which the reinforced members of the desired response class occur more often and the
Response differentiation Read More
A strategy for teaching novel behaviors using successive approximations to a terminal response, which are differentially reinforced until the client is able to differentiate the terminal response from the successive
A shaping method in which each successive approximation varies in form from the other approximations and the ultimate terminal response.
Shaping across response topographies Read More
A shaping method in which the response form of each successive approximation remains the same, but some other measurable dimension is being trained.
Shaping within response topographies Read More
The gradual and progressive changes in criteria during a shaping procedure, with each change being closer in form to the desired terminal response.
