Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario describes the use of a token economy, which involves giving tangible rewards (stickers) in exchange for desirable behavior (reciting the poem). The tokens can then be exchanged for larger rewards (prizes from the goody box). This system is commonly used in classrooms to reinforce positive behavior and increase motivation. Applied behavior analysis (B) is a broader term that encompasses various techniques used to modify behaviors, including token economies. Negative reinforcement (C) involves the removal of an unpleasant stimulus to increase a behavior, which is not present in this scenario. Classical conditioning (D) involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response, which is also not present in this scenario.
