19. Task 3.3 Practice
Reading: Chaining Behavior
Many everyday human behaviors are made up of a sequence of several
simpler behaviors. In order to teach children to perform these complex
behaviors, parents sometimes use a technique called chaining. First, parents
identify each of the simpler component behaviors and determine the order
in which these simpler behaviors are performed. Parents then start with the
first task in the chain. When the child has mastered that element, parents
then teach the second element together with the first and reinforce this
effort. When these are performed satisfactorily, they move on to elements
one two and three, and so on, adding one behavior at a time. The behavior s
are not taught in isolation, hence the term “chain”.
Using the example of washing hands, explain the concept of chaining
behaviors.
