In the context of backward chaining, where is the reinforcer placed?

In backward chaining, the reinforcer is placed at the end of the sequence. This method focuses on teaching a task by starting with the final step, reinforcing the individual for successfully completing it, then gradually adding previous steps in reverse order. By consistently placing the reinforcement at the end of the sequence, it helps the individual understand the importance of each step leading to the final completion, ultimately ensuring they grasp the entire task as they work backward. The immediate reinforcement following the final step encourages motivation and reinforces the correct performing of that step, enhancing learning and retention of the entire sequence.
