Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario describes establishing an operation (making water a reinforcer by increasing thirst through salty food) and evoking a behavior that has been previously reinforced (asking for a drink), which relates to the concepts of motivating operations and conditioned reinforcement, not forward chaining. Forward chaining is a teaching strategy that involves teaching a complex behavior starting with the first step and gradually adding each subsequent step.
