Methods Of Chaining

Question 1

Forward chaining

Answer 1

Chain is learned sequentially from first to last. Once a behaviour has been mastered move onto next until whole chain is complete. Use feedback as reinforcer

Question 2

Backward chaining

Answer 2

Behaviours in a chain taught from last to first

Question 3

Give an advantage of backward chaining

Answer 3

Learner receives final reinforcer each time so contingency between behaviour and reinforcement is steong

Question 4

Total task presentation

Answer 4

All steps in a chain learned from beginning to end following demonstration of the sequence.

Question 5

If the learner is struggling with a step, use ____, but eliminate ASAP as being able to perform the steps ____ is important

Answer 5

Prompts; independently

Question 6

What is a behavioural chain?

Answer 6

A consistent sequence of stimuli and responses that occur closely to one another and in which the final response is reinforced

Question 7

Task Analysis

Answer 7

Process of breaking down a task into smaller components to facilitate learning

Question 8

Preliminary modelling trial

Answer 8

Demonstrating the chain in its entirety while verbally describing each strp
