Example of Shaping in Humans: Teaching a Child to Clean Their Room
Shaping can be applied to teach human behaviors, such as a child learning to clean his room. Parents can facilitate this by setting up and reinforcing a series of steps toward the final goal, rather than expecting the entire task to be performed at once. This process starts with reinforcing the child for cleaning up a single toy, followed by cleaning up five toys. The steps progress to him choosing whether to pick up ten toys or put his books and clothes away, then cleaning everything except two toys, until finally, he is reinforced for cleaning his entire room.
