QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2025
Which of the following is NOT a part of a contingency contract?
A description of the reward
A method of recording whether or not the learner has engaged in the required task
A description of the required task
A description of when tokens will be exchanged for backup reinforcers - CORRECT-ANSWERSA
description of when tokens will be exchanged for backup reinforcers
The success of contingency contracts is probably due to:
Positive reinforcement that results from the rewards provided
Rule-governed behavior
Response prompting
,All of these are things that factor into the success of contingency contracts. - CORRECT-
ANSWERSAll of these are things that factor into the success of contingency contracts.
In a token economy, the tokens:
Should be a highly desirable item
Should be something learners can easily find in other places (to aid with generalization of the
token economy in other settings)
Are generalized, conditioned reinforcers that are exchanged for backup reinforcers
All of the above - CORRECT-ANSWERSAre generalized, conditioned reinforcers that are
exchanged for backup reinforcers
When setting up a token economy:
,One should define a large number of behaviors for which tokens will be delivered so that the
economy has the broadest application.
One must be certain that the learners possess the prerequisite skills for any target behaviors.
The same criteria should apply to all learners in the environment.
All of the above - CORRECT-ANSWERSOne must be certain that the learners possess the
prerequisite skills for any target behaviors.
When implementing a token economy, what consideration should be made in determining the
ratio of exchange?
The initial ratio between the number of tokens earned and the price of backup items should be
small.
, The initial ratio between the number of tokens earned and the price of backup items should be
large.
As token earning increases, the cost of backup items should decrease.
If token earning decreases, the cost of backup items should increase. - CORRECT-
ANSWERSThe initial ratio between the number of tokens earned and the price of backup items
should be small.
A method for withdrawing a token system is:
Gradually increase the number of responses required to earn a token
Gradually decrease the length of time the token economy is in effect
Gradually make more of activities and privileges used as backup items be those found in the
untrained setting
