Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of shaping, as the person is being directed towards a goal through successive approximations (i.e. moving closer when they are getting warmer). This is a form of operant conditioning, where behavior is shaped through reinforcement. The other options do not accurately describe this process.
