Document Summary
Backward chaining a type of chaining procedure in which the last component of the chain is taught first. Once the last response in the chain occurs consistently when the discriminative stimulus is presented, the next to last component is taught, and the last two components of the chain occur together. This training sequence proceeds until the client has learned all the components in the chain. Behavioral chain a complex behavior consisting of two or more component behaviors that occur together in a sequence. For each component behavior, there is a discriminative stimulus and response. A behavioral chain is sometimes called a stimulus-response. Chaining procedures procedures used to teach a person to engage in a chain of behaviors. Includes backward chaining, forward chaining, total task presentation, written task analysis, picture prompts, and self-instructions. Forward chaining a procedure for teaching a chain of behaviors.
