==Chaining== {{Main|Chaining}} Chaining involves linking discrete behaviors together in a series, such that the consequence of each behavior is both the reinforcement for the previous behavior, and the antecedent stimulus for the next behavior. There are many ways to teach chaining, such as forward chaining (starting from the first behavior in the chain), backwards chaining (starting from the last behavior) and total task chaining (teaching each behavior in the chain simultaneously). People's morning routines are a typical chain, with a series of behaviors (e.g. showering, drying off, getting dressed) occurring in sequence as a well learned habit. Challenging behaviors seen in individuals with autism and other related disabilities have successfully managed and maintained in studies using a scheduled of chained reinforcements.<ref>{{Cite journal |date=2020-07-24 |title=CORRIGENDUM to "Further Evaluations of Functional Communication Training and Chained Schedules of Reinforcement to Treat Multiple Functions of Challenging Behavior" |journal=Behavior Modification |volume=46 |issue=1 |pages=254 |doi=10.1177/0145445520945810 |pmid=32706269 |s2cid=241136859 |issn=0145-4455|doi-access=free }}</ref> Functional communication training is an intervention that often uses chained schedules of reinforcement to effectively promote the appropriate and desired functional communication response.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Falcomata |first1=Terry S. |last2=Roane |first2=Henry S. |last3=Muething |first3=Colin S. |last4=Stephenson |first4=Kasey M. |last5=Ing |first5=Anna D. |date=2012-02-09 |title=Functional Communication Training and Chained Schedules of Reinforcement to Treat Challenging Behavior Maintained by Terminations of Activity Interruptions |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0145445511433821 |journal=Behavior Modification |volume=36 |issue=5 |pages=630β649 |doi=10.1177/0145445511433821 |pmid=22327267 |s2cid=29108702 |issn=0145-4455|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
