This document provides instructions for a reinforcement worksheet assignment for a psychology course. Students are asked to respond to four questions related to concepts of reinforcement and behavior shaping. The questions involve choosing a behavior to shape, developing a task analysis to teach a skill to a child, generalizing a behavior taught in one setting to other settings, and determining when and where a specific behavior is appropriate. Students are to answer each question in 175 to 350 words and submit their completed worksheet.

Reinforcement Worksheet
Respond to the following questions in 175 to 350 words each.
Choose a behavior you would like to shape on someone you
know. Select a terminal and initial behavior and the steps you
would use to shape the behavior. Would you utilize punishment
or reinforcement? Would fixed or variable outcomes play a role
in your procedure?
Choose a task that you would teach a 5-year-old child to
perform. Consider some of the following: tying shoe laces,
brushing teeth, making a sandwich, making a bed, and so forth.
What would your task analysis look like? For example, what
would the steps be and how many steps would you have? Once
you develop the task analysis, what might you do before putting
it into place to ensure its effectiveness?
You just taught a shy 2nd-grade student how to ask for help
when he needed it on his vocabulary sight words rather than
sitting quietly and not completing his work. However, you want
the behavior to occur in other settings when he needs help.

2. What process would you follow to teach him how to ask for help
in multiple contexts?
Conversly, one of the 2nd-grade boy’s classmates is raising her
hand and asking for help even on tasks she knows how to
complete. This happens during recess, in phys ed, or when
given a task she has completed multiple times before. What
process would you follow to teach when and where raising her
hand is appropriate?
