Total Task Chaining refers to a training method in which the learner is taught all the steps of a behavior chain during each training session. The learner practices the entire sequence of behaviors from start to finish, receiving guidance and reinforcement for every behavior in the sequence.
Example
To teach a child how to wash their hands, a teacher guides the child through each step—turning on the water, applying soap, scrubbing, rinsing, and drying—every time the task is practiced. Each step is practiced during every session, making it an example of total task chaining.
