chaining
Connecting in series
Chaining is linking things together in sequence, like links in a chain.
In computing, chaining connects commands or functions so output from one becomes input to the next: method chaining, promise chaining.
In psychology, chaining breaks complex behaviors into linked steps, teaching them one at a time.
The word implies sequential connection where each element depends on the previous.
