I'm just glad they didn't make Beth wear socks on her hands while washing. That would be a bizarre training method.

Finally, a question that doesn't involve analysing someone's toilet-flushing habits. This is way more fun!

Are you sure it's not a global approach? Seems like they're teaching the whole hand-washing skill at once. I'll choose C.

Yeah, total task chaining makes sense in this scenario.

I agree, total task chaining is when all steps are taught at once.

I think it's total task, they're teaching all the steps together.

Wait, did they train Beth in all the steps in each session? That sounds like a total task approach. I'm picking D.

Hmm, the gradual introduction of prompts makes me think it's a backward chaining approach. I'll go with A.

The task analysis and successive prompts sound like a forward chaining procedure to me. I'm going with B.

I think you're right, B seems like the best choice for this behavior chaining procedure.

I'm not sure, but I think global chaining could also be a possibility in this scenario.

I agree with Christene, total task chaining makes sense for teaching all the steps in washing hands.
