Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mrs. Thyberg is using a token economy to modify the children's behaviors. A token economy is a behavior modification system where desired behaviors are rewarded with tokens that can be exchanged for a preferred item or activity. In this case, the stickers are the tokens and the goody box prizes are the preferred items. This encourages the students to recite poems from memory and reinforces the behavior with a reward.
