PSYB45H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 11: Sport Chek, Backward Chaining, Forward Chaining
Document Summary
Behavioral chain (stimulus-response chain) a complex behavior consisting of many component behaviors that occur together in a sequence. Gum examples=engage at least 5 behaviors, w/c must occur together in the correct sequence: you can only engage in a particular beh in the sequence only if the previous beh in the sequence has been identified. The second response produces an sd for third response and so on, until all the responses in the chain occur in order. *each subsequent response in the chain occurs bc the previous response created the sd that has stimulus control over that response. Task analysis the process of analyzing a behavioral chain by breaking it down to its individual stimulus- response components. Steps: first step is to identify all the behaviors that are necessary to perform the task and write them down in order, identify the sd associated with each behavior in the task.
