Reacción química en cadena. La reacción en cadena da inicio en el momento en que el calor frente al oxígeno y el combustible enciende la primera molécula que rodea al combustible. Es más fácil de iniciarse cuanto mayor cantidad de gases o vapores desprende dicho combustible, ya que la primera molécula encenderá a la segunda y ésta a la tercera y así sucesivamente. 1, record 2, Spanish, - reacci%C3%B3n%20en%20cadena

A technique used in teaching complex tasks. Essentially, the large task is broken into many smaller tasks. These smaller tasks are then learned (with consequences contingent upon the completion of each small task) and then linked together in succession forming the original complex task. A large or major reinforcer follows the completion of the entire chain. Most of our every day behaviors occur as chains of behavior, for example starting an automobile (large task) comprises many smaller tasks or behaviors (opening car door, sitting in seat, closing car door, inserting key into ignition, turning key in ignition, releasing key). 1, record 6, English, - chaining
