edith galvan · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Shaping is the process of changing behavior through the reinforcement of partial responses. It involves rewarding closer and closer approximations to the desired behavior until the desired behavior is achieved. Modeling involves learning by observing others, negative reinforcement involves strengthening a behavior by removing an aversive stimulus, and classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with a reflex response to ultimately create a conditioned response.
