Token Economy Reinforcement Delivery
Token Economy is a behavioral management system used in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to reinforce desired behaviors. It involves giving individuals tokens (such as stickers, points, or tokens) as a form of immediate reinforcement for performing specific behaviors or completing tasks. These tokens can later be exchanged for desired rewards or privileges.
In Token Economy Reinforcement Delivery, tokens are awarded promptly following the desired behavior. The tokens serve as a tangible representation of reinforcement, providing immediate feedback and increasing the likelihood of the behavior occurring again in the future. This approach is particularly effective for individuals with developmental disorders or behavioral challenges, as it allows for consistent reinforcement and encourages the development of positive behaviors over time.
