Shaping is a method of operant conditioning by which successive approximations of a target behavior are reinforced. Shaping involves teaching a student to demonstrate a desired behavior or task by reinforcing successful approximations of the behavior. Through the use of reinforcing desired behaviors the student will increase the desired behavior and eliminate or change the undesirable behavior.

For example, a child learns to pull itself up, to stand, to walk and to finally move about through reinforcement of slightly exceptional instances of behaviors.
