Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behavior modification refers to the use of positive or negative consequences to modify behavior. A token economy is a form of behavior modification in which desired behaviors are rewarded with tokens that can be exchanged for desired items or privileges. Capture error refers to a type of learning in which an animal learns a particular behavior accidentally through repeated exposure to it. The Premack Principle suggests that a less desirable behavior can be increased by making it contingent on a more desirable behavior. Drive reduction theory suggests that motivation arises from the desire to reduce physiological needs like hunger or thirst. While all of these concepts relate to behavior and motivation in some way, only a token economy involves using rewards to modify behavior.
