Benny is struggling with submitting papers in class and did not complete even one paper since the beginning of the semester. You are here to help him acquire the required behavior, i.e., submitting all coursework on time. When Mike submits his first paper it has his name on it and the date - you encourage him by saying: "great, you submitted something on time; this is progress". Next, for the English 5-paragraph essay, Mike submits one paragraph on time. You keep encouraging him and say: "this is awesome, you just submitted your first paper". The following week Mikes submits another paper, this time a 2-paragraphs paper. You congratulate him and provide more positive reinforcement even though it is still not the full 5-paragraphs paper. This positive reinforcement for successive approximation of the desired behavior is:

a. sensory learning

b. acquisition

c. shaping

d. negative learning
