Les programmes ramifiés. [...] Conçus par l'Américain R.A. Crowder, ils ont rencontré [...] moins de succès que les programmes linéaires [...] Le principe du programme ramifié est d'exposer une unité d'information d'une quantité supérieure à l'élément skinnérien (de l'ordre d'une demi-page) puis à poser une question en rapport direct avec l'information qui vient d'être donnée. Un choix de réponses est alors proposé [...] Chacune de ces réponses renvoie à une autre unité d'information [...] 3, record 2, French, - programme%20ramifi%C3%A9
