Teaching Complex Activities to Students with Moderate Handicaps through the Forward Chaining of Shorter Total Cycle Response Sequences.
McWilliams, Renee; And Others
Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v25 n3 p292-98 Sep 1990
Three adolescents with moderate mental handicaps were taught bedmaking skills through a technique which involved dividing the entire chain into sections, teaching the first section in a total cycle fashion, and adding instruction on subsequent sections in a forward chaining manner. The technique promoted skill acquisition and substantial generalization to the home environment. (Author/JDD)
