Backward Chaining

A method for teaching a stimulus–response chain. When backward chaining is used, the reinforcing power of the positive reinforcer (presented at the end of the chain) is transferred “down the line” to each discriminative stimulus as it is added to the chain. This makes for very efficient use of positive reinforcement to establish a strong chain.
