Sara wants to teach her cat Fluffy to use his paw to turn on the television. Sara differentially reinforces
Fluffy’s behavior of being within one foot of the television, being within one foot and facing the
television, when Fluffy touches the television with his paw, when he touches the on button with his paw,
and finally when Fluffy hits the on button with his paw. This is an example of using shaping to:

generate a novel behavior
