Worth reading the story of what happened when he had the bright idea of trying /random/ reinforcement on pigeons... * Also worth knuckling down and having a go at the Iliad, if you've never tried. Remarkable description of these two enormous armies lined up on the beach, neither of them wanting the carnage that would ensue if they actually entered battle.

The principles of shaping are present in everyday interactions with the environment. Also, in the case of a human employing shaping to change another organism’s behavior, this procedure is used when giving instructions (such as “touch the bar for food”) is impossible due to the absence of language or communication between the two.
