In shaping, the behavior to be acquired is called the "target behavior", and people are rewarded for "successive approximations of" that behavior.


A target behavior is any conduct that has been picked or 'focused' for change. A target behavior ought to be positive. That implies that the objective conduct should center around what you might want the youngster to do rather than what you don't need the kid to do.
