What is the first step in utilizing the technique of chaining?

Identifying the final target behavior
Breaking down the skill into its components
Reinforcing the first approximation
Assessing the learner's current abilities

The correct answer is: Breaking down the skill into its components

Chaining is a teaching method that involves breaking down a complex skill into smaller, more manageable steps. The first step in using this technique is to break down the skill into its components, or smaller steps. This allows for a more gradual and systematic approach to teaching the skill, making it easier for the learner to understand and master. Identifying the final target behavior (A) is important, but it comes after breaking down the skill. Reinforcing the first approximation (C) and assessing the learner's current abilities (D) are also important, but they come after breaking down the skill.
