PSYB45H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 11: Forward Chaining, Backward Chaining, Task Analysis
Document Summary
Task analysis: is the process of analyzing a behavioural chain by breaking it down into its individual stimulus-response components. Goal is to teach a complex task to a person that involves two or more component responses. First, identify all the behaviours necessary to perform the task and write them down in order. Next, indentify the sd associated with each behaviour in the task. Different ways to conduct a task analysis: observe a competent person engage in a task, ask an expert ( a person who performs the task well, perform the task yourself and record each of the competent responses. Chaining procedures: are strategies that are used to teach complex tasks (behavioural chains). It involves the application of prompting and fading strategies to each stimulus-response component in the chain. Three types of chaining procedures: backward chaining, forward chaining, total task presentation.
