The Premack principle refers to using a high-probability behavior (activity that is highly valued by an individual) to reinforce a low-probability behavior (less popular behavior). For example, a teacher can use computer time (a highly valued activity) as a reward for completing a difficult math assignment (a less popular behavior). A Behavioral proclamation is not a commonly used term in behavior modification strategies. A Token economy system involves the use of tokens or points to reward desirable behaviors. A Behavioral contract outlines specific goals and consequences for behavior.
