Chaining

Question 1

Behavior Chain

Answer 1

specific sequence of discrete responses, each associated with a particular stimulus condition

• each is an individual component of a chain.
• each is an individual component of a chain

Question 2

behavior chain with limited hold

Answer 2

sequence of BXs that must be preformed correctly and within a specific time to produce reinforcement

Question 3

chaining

Answer 3

various methods for linking specific sequences of stimuli and responses to form new performances

Question 4

task analysis

Answer 4

involves breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable units, the product of which is a series of sequentially ordered steps or task

Question 5

forward chaining

Answer 5

behaviors identified in the TA are taught in their naturally occurring order.

Question 6

total task chaining or whole task

Answer 6

variation of forward chaining in which the learner receives training on each step in the task analysis during every session

Question 7

backward chaining

Answer 7

all behaviors identified in the task analysis are initially completed by the trainer except for the final BX

Question 8

backwards chaining with leap aheads

Answer 8

follows same steps of backward chaining except that not every step id trained. some are probed
-decreases total training time

Question 9

behavior chain interpretation strategy (BCIS)

Answer 9

relies on the participant’s skill to perform the critical elements of a chain independently, but the chain is interrupted so that another BX can be emitted
