Ch11 Chaining Flashcards
behavioral chain
complex behavior consisting of many component behaviors
that occur together in a sequence
stimulus-response chain
Each behavior or response in the chain produces a stimulus change that acts as an SD for the next response in the chain
task analysis
The process of analyzing a behavioral chain by breaking it down into its individual stimulus-response components
chaining procedures
systematic application of prompting and fading strategies to each stimulus response component in the chain
Backward chaining
teach the last behavior in the chain first, and going backwards
Forward chaining
Teach the first behavior in the chain first; then teach each subsequent behavior in the chain
graduated guidance
gradually provide less and less assistance and shadow the learner’s hand as the learner completes the task
written task analysis
