Document Summary

Getting a new sequence of behaviors to occur with. Behavioral chain- also called stimulus-response chain, is a consistent sequence of stimuli and response that occur closely to each other in time and where the last response is followed by a reinforcement. In a behavioral chain, each response produces a stimulus that serves as an s d for the next response (and a conditioned reinforcer for the previous response) The stimulus-response connections are the links that hold the chain together. If any response is so weak that it failed to be evoked by the s d preceding it, the next s d will not be produced and the rest of the chain will not occur. The reinforcer at the end of the chain maintains the stimulus in the chain as effective sds for the responses that follow them (as will be described later, as effective conditioned reinforcers for the responses that lead them)
