• : What were your criteria for success in shaping Sniffy’s rolling-over behaviour? How successful were you? In what ways did your performance demonstrate the procedure of shaping?
: What other behaviour did you shape? How successful were you? In what ways did your performance demonstrate the procedure of shaping?
: What do you consider the clearest evidence that shaping Sniffy to beg, face wipe, and roll affected the frequency of alternative behaviours? Give two reasons for your answer.
