Detailed explanation-1: -A behavior chain (chaining) is a type of teaching procedure used to connect individual behaviors to form more complex responses. Any action that requires more than one response or behavior to emit, can be taught via a chaining procedure.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three different types of chaining which can be used and they are forward chaining, backward chaining, and total task chaining (not to be confused with a task analysis).
Detailed explanation-3: -Meaning of chaining in English to fasten someone or something using a chain: It’s so cruel to keep a pony chained up like that all the time. They chained themselves to lampposts in protest at the judge’s decision.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chaining is the reinforcement of successive elements of a behavior chain. If you are teaching your child the alphabet, you are attempting to build a chain, if you are teaching the tying of shoelaces, you are also attempting to build a chain. There are two chaining procedures, forward and backward chaining.
