Shaping

A shaping is a learning procedure allowing the acquisition of a behavior by the differential reinforcement of approximation closer and closer to the target behavior.

To use ABA-assistant, we offer:

1-Create the program: (If necessary, see the sheet “Create a program” https://behavior-analysis-technology.com/en/create-a-program/ )

• In “Program name”: the target skill (eg: “repeat the word balloon”)
• In “Session type”: select “work session”
• For the “Type of measurement”: select “Continuous (event)” (select “continuous (full)” if you wish to shape the duration of the behavior)
• Select your group of favorite behaviours/variables/stages (otherwise, you can add your behaviors directly from the “objectives and programs” tab)
• Create your first phase of your program

You can then update your phase directly under the visualization of the graphs
