Not sure if that's the best approach, seems rushed.

Wait, are they really using prompts after just two seconds?

Sounds like backward chaining to me!

I could be wrong, but I think global chaining is when you teach all steps together, right? This seems different.

I feel like this is a forward chaining approach because they introduced prompts after waiting for her response.

I'm not really sure, but I remember something about backward chaining being used when you start with the last step.

Backward chaining is effective for teaching tasks like this!
JA

I agree, definitely backward!

I think this might be a total task chaining procedure since they trained Beth on all the steps at once.

I've got this one! Based on the information provided, the behavior chaining procedure used was forward chaining. They trained Beth on all the steps and introduced prompts as needed, which is the classic forward chaining technique.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The prompt mentions "successive levels" of prompts, which makes me wonder if it could be a backward chaining approach instead. I'll have to re-read the question and think it through.

Okay, the key details are that they trained Beth on all the steps in each session and introduced prompts if she didn't respond. That sounds like they were using a forward chaining approach to build up the full hand-washing sequence.

Hmm, this seems like a question on behavior chaining. I remember learning about the different methods, but I'm not totally sure which one was used here. I'll have to think it through carefully.

I'm pretty confident this is a forward chaining procedure. The question states that staff trained Beth in all the steps, which suggests they built up the task from the beginning, rather than starting from the end.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The question talks about introducing prompts, but doesn't specify if they were introduced from the beginning or the end of the task. I'm not sure if that's enough information to determine the chaining procedure.

You know, I think you're right, MikeT. The fact that they introduced prompts in successive levels points to a forward chaining approach. I should have caught that detail.

Hmm, this seems like a classic behavior chaining question. I think the key is to identify the specific procedure used based on the details provided in the question.

I'm just glad they didn't make Beth wear socks on her hands while washing. That would be a bizarre training method.

Finally, a question that doesn't involve analysing someone's toilet-flushing habits. This is way more fun!

Are you sure it's not a global approach? Seems like they're teaching the whole hand-washing skill at once. I'll choose C.

Yeah, total task chaining makes sense in this scenario.
DE

I agree, total task chaining is when all steps are taught at once.
NI

I think it's total task, they're teaching all the steps together.
TE

Wait, did they train Beth in all the steps in each session? That sounds like a total task approach. I'm picking D.
SH
Sherita

Total task chaining is the way to go. D is the answer.
SH

I agree, total task chaining was used here. D is the correct choice.
YA

Yeah, total task makes sense in this scenario. D is the answer.
IR
Iraida

I think it was a total task approach too. Let's go with D.
OR
Oren

Hmm, the gradual introduction of prompts makes me think it's a backward chaining approach. I'll go with A.
RO
Ronna

The task analysis and successive prompts sound like a forward chaining procedure to me. I'm going with B.
CL
Clement

I think you're right, B seems like the best choice for this behavior chaining procedure.
CO
Coral

I agree, it does sound like forward chaining. B is the correct answer.

I'm not sure, but I think global chaining could also be a possibility in this scenario.

I agree with Christene, total task chaining makes sense for teaching all the steps in washing hands.
