AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Chaining breaks a task down into small steps and then teaches each step within the sequence by itself. For example, a child learning to wash his/her hands independently may start with learning to turn on the faucet. Once this initial skill is learned, the next step may be getting his/her hands, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Behavior Chaining is a teaching method based on task analysis, wherein all the smaller units of behavior comprising a complex skill or task is identified and broken down first and the series of related behaviors is taught in a step by step manner.

Detailed explanation-3: -In ABA, chaining is the process of connecting smaller individual behaviors in the correct order to complete a more complex behavior. Any task that requires more than one behavior can be taught using a behavior chain. This behavior chain allows a complex task to feel more achievable.
