Golf instruction that reinforces short putts before attempting to reinforce long putts best illustrates the process of shaping.
Shaping involves progressively reinforcing behaviours that are closer and closer to the final behaviour that is sought. A component of behaviour analysis called shaping involves progressively teaching new behaviours with the help of reinforcement until the desired behaviour is attained.
The behavioural purpose and the target behaviour must be expressly defined for shaping to be effective. A task analysis is the first step in shaping, when a desirable behaviour is divided into smaller, more achievable sections that would gradually bring the student closer to that desired behaviour.
