Wikipedia
Chaining is an instructional procedure used in behavioral psychology, experimental analysis of behavior and applied behavior analysis. It involves reinforcing individual responses occurring in a sequence to form a complex behavior. It is frequently used for training behavioral sequences (or "chains") that are beyond the current repertoire of the learner. The term is often credited to the work of B.F. Skinner, an American psychologist working at Harvard University in the 1930s.
In computing, chaining is a technique used in computer architecture in which scalar and vector registers generate interim results which can be used immediately, without additional memory references which reduce computational speed.
The chaining technique was first used by Seymour Cray in the 80 MHz Cray 1 supercomputer in 1976.
Chaining is a teaching procedure. It may also refer to:
- Chaining (vector processing)
- Method chaining
- Forward chaining
- Backward chaining
- Back-chaining
