The statement suggests that Keygan may now expect to receive a dollar every time he behaves for the whole day. This expectation is created by the contrast effect, which occurs when the reward, in this case, a dollar, becomes the norm or standard, and any deviation from it is perceived as a loss or punishment. Keygan may expect this reward every time he behaves because he now sees it as the norm or standard.
