A Behavior Analyst’s Guide to Supervising FieldworkChaining

A Behavior Analyst’s Guide to Supervising Fieldwork: Chaining [Behavior chains describe a situation in which the completion of several responses linked together results in a terminal reinforcer. The stimulus change following each response serves as a conditioned reinforcer for completion of that response and as a discriminative stimulus to engage in the next response in the chain. In this chapter, you will introduce your supervisees to behavior chains, task analyses, and strategies for establishing behavior chains. During the group supervision meeting, you will review the strategies for creating a task analysis and the different chaining methods. In addition, your supervisees will practice creating a task analysis and graphing chaining data. During the individual supervision meeting, you and your supervisee will review the task analysis they developed and determine an appropriate chaining method and procedures for their client. During the final supervision meeting, you will instruct your supervisee to use the agreed upon chaining procedures with their client. During a second individual meeting without a client, you will review your supervisee’s graphed data and discuss next steps for chaining.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Behavior chains describe a situation in which the completion of several responses linked together results in a terminal reinforcer. The stimulus change following each response serves as a conditioned reinforcer for completion of that response and as a discriminative stimulus to engage in the next response in the chain. In this chapter, you will introduce your supervisees to behavior chains, task analyses, and strategies for establishing behavior chains. During the group supervision meeting, you will review the strategies for creating a task analysis and the different chaining methods. In addition, your supervisees will practice creating a task analysis and graphing chaining data. During the individual supervision meeting, you and your supervisee will review the task analysis they developed and determine an appropriate chaining method and procedures for their client. During the final supervision meeting, you will instruct your supervisee to use the agreed upon chaining procedures with their client. During a second individual meeting without a client, you will review your supervisee’s graphed data and discuss next steps for chaining.]
