Use chaining.
PTB co-founder Dana Meller reviews and breaks down in detail a BCBA® mock exam question about different chaining methods in behavior analysis.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section G-8: Use chaining.
The books don’t really say much about what chaining methods BCBA’s should apply to what behaviors. PTB co-founder Dana Meller breaks it down.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section G-8: Use chaining.
Which chaining method goes with which behavior? Dana Meller offers some considerations that may help you answer that question on the exam.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section Section G-8: Use chaining.
PTB co-founder Dana Meller dives into the concept of enhancing reinforcement schedules by adding an extra criterion to motivate quicker and more accurate responses.

A specific sequence of discrete responses/behaviors that, when linked together, form a terminal behavior. Each discrete response/behavior is associated with a particular stimulus condition (SD), and each response and the …
A breakdown of a complex behavior into small, teachable units that establish a behavior chain (series of steps and tasks presented in a specific order) that must occur in a …
A chaining method that involves teaching the behavior chain one step at a time, in its naturally occurring order, starting with the first step. The process involves moving on to …
A variation of the forward chaining method in which every step of a task analysis is taught in each session. The individual is assisted on any steps that they are …
A chaining method in which an instructor initially completes the chain in its naturally occurring order, and then the individual is taught one step at a time, starting from the …
A variation of the backward chain in which any step in the task analysis that is already in the individual’s repertoire is not formally trained.
