Behavior chains are incredibly powerful tools that allow for complex tasks and flexible solutions. They can also be magnets for superstitious trainer behaviors and confusion. Laura VanArendonk Baugh likes to remind her learners that chains don't have to be as complex as we often make them! If you have fluent behaviors and stimulus control, you have a chain! Let's take that challenge. In this Lab, we'll collect individual behaviors and assemble them into a chain. We'll cover how to assess if behaviors are ready for chaining, experiment with order (and what we need to know about cuing and chain order), and best practices for putting together fixed-order or variable chains.
