Different methods of shaping behavior?

Some methods of shaping behavior include positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, and extinction. Positive reinforcement involves rewarding desired behavior to increase its occurrence. Negative reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. Punishment involves applying an aversive consequence to decrease an undesired behavior. Extinction involves withholding reinforcement to diminish a behavior.


What term refers to any change in a subject's behavior caused by the awareness of being studied?

The term is "reactivity." It describes how individuals may alter their behavior when they know they are being observed or studied. This phenomenon can impact the accuracy and reliability of research results.
