Chaining
Teaching somebody a new behavior by rewarding small changes that are part of the overall behavior you are seeking. For example, you might reward a young child for using a toothbrush in the morning (one “link” in the chain), then for using toothpaste on the toothbrush (another “link”), and then for using toothpaste on the toothbrush both morning and evening (the third “link”). Chaining helps children learn and adopt complex or multi-step behaviors a little at a time.
