- Token Economy (TE)
- Evaluation
- It is hard to determine the success as the group can't be compared with a control only past behaviours
- Community - this could be less effective in the community as P's don't have 24/7 supervision
- Most research is meta analysis which makes it unreliable because they all used different methods
- Ethics - primary reinforcers could include necessary needs like food which could lead to issues
- Researcher's are inconclusive about where this is effective due to the lack of RCTs
- What is TE?
- The rate of which the tokens are given out has to be reduced slowly to keep the behaviour being encouraged
- For a behaviour to be encouraged the reward has to be wanted by the P
- This is used as a way of managing sz not treating it
- Rewards are secondary reinforcers which can be exchanged for primary reinforcers
- Where desirable behaviours are encouraged by using rewards
- Evaluation
