Technique of shaping is based on which of the following principle ?

  • A.Reciprocal inhibition
  • B.Response inhibition
  • C.Stimulus discrimination
  • D.Successive approximation

Answer: D

The technique of shaping is based on successive approximation.

In shaping, behaviours that come closer and closer to the target response are reinforced in turn, until the target is reached. Reciprocal inhibition is the principle behind systematic desensitization, response inhibition means preventing a response, and stimulus discrimination is responding differently to different stimuli.
