There are positive reinforcements and negative reinforcements. A positive reinforcement would be a reward that would increase the likelihood of the response being repeated. A negative reinforcement would be the removal of something unpleasant, so the likelihood of the response would be repeated. A partial reinforcement is when the response is reinforced after some, but not all, correct responses. A continuous reinforcement is reinforced after each and every correct response. A fixed interval is received after a certain, fixed interval of time has passed. A fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement is the number of responses required to receive each reward is always the same number. The token economy can use any of these reinforcements depending on the parent. Some parents will give them a reward after each time they use the toilet. Other parents will only give them one reward after five times of using the toilet. When a child receives a reward after each time of doing something good, they begin to depend on the reward. If they don’t get the reward one time, like they are used to, it can lead to a tantrum. The Effects of a Peer-Administered Token Economy Journal did an analysis. The analysis was done in a physical education class. In the analysis, the token economy was effective in all seven participants. Participant’s. They increased the number of overhand components from 10% to 27%. The token reinforcement can be an effective tool in some cases. Since time-out can hurt a child in more than one way, the token economy is better. The token economy doesn’t always work, but it is better to try it than to hurt a child by putting the child in
