Question 1

A complex behavior consisting of two or more response segments that occur in a definite order. “… a sequence of responses that are functionally linked to the same terminal reinforcer

Answer 1

chain

Question 2

An intact response, or performance, that combined with others form a behavioral chain

Answer 2

links

Question 3

Breaking down a complex skill, job or behavioral chain into its component behaviors, sub-skills, or subtasks. Components are is stated in its order of occurrence and are designed to set the occasion for the occurrence of the next behavior.

Answer 3

task analysis

Question 4

A procedure in which intact responses are reinforced in sequence to form more complex behaviors ultimately emitted as a single cohesive performance.

Answer 4

chaining

Question 5

Effecting the development of a chain of responses by training the first response or link in the chain initially; the second next; and so on; then joining the series of links together, until the entire chain is emitted as a single complex behavior.

Answer 5

forward chaining

Question 6

Effecting the development of a behavioral chain of responses by reinforcing the last response, element, or link in the chain first; the last two next; and so on, until the entire chain is emitted as a single complex behavior

Answer 6

backward chaining

Question 7

A simultaneous teaching method, in which all or several elements are taught concurrently, as opposed to joining or adding one link at a time

Answer 7

concurrent (total or whole task) chaining
