Describe how you would use shaping to teach a non-verbal child to say "hungry."
What will be an ideal response?
Shaping is a procedure that begins by forming a list of responses (such as "he," "ha," "hu") that were progressively more similar to the target response (in this case, the word hungry). After an individual mastered the first sound, she would be reinforced only for attempts at the next sound on the list, and so on, until the desired sound or word was gradually shaped.
