A token economy is an intensive, in-class positive reinforcement program for building up and maintaining appropriate classroom performance and behavior. A token program may be needed when other positive reinforcement programs, such as selective use of teacher attention or a home-based reinforcement program. In many different education settings a material reward program can be conveniently managed through a token reinforcement program. Token programs involve the distribution of physical tokens (for
the use of operant conditioning explained that token economy is a system in which targeted behaviours are reinforced with tokens which are considered secondary reinforcers and later exchanged for rewards which is classified as the primary reinforcers. Token economy is one of the most commonly used behaviour management interventions, especially in settings where students have learning or behavioural challenges. A token economy involves giving tokens, chips, stickers, points, stars, or other items
Token Economy A Token economy is a system to positively reinforce desired behaviors by giving an object or by using a symbol on an individually designed token board. These items have little value, but can be saved to access a more desired item or activity at a later time, which serves as the back- up reinforcer. Tokens have been found to be effective with one student or a group, with one or multiple behaviors. They are used in most special education classes, as well as some general education classes
topics token economy, contingency contract, and behavioral parent training. A token economy is a system for motivating clients to perform adaptive behaviors. Client are rewarded with tokens for completing an adaptive behavior and lose tokens for maladaptive behaviors. This is normally used in a group setting rather than for an individual. Joseph Lancaster set up a token economy system in a school and used the token method to motivate students to perform better academically. The Token economy started

Additionally, it has been found that token economies are highly effective in households where someone refuses to do chores. In one study, consisting of 5 graduate students who had previously refused to do chores in their houses, a token economy was enacted. After the system had been removed for two weeks, the individuals were still doing the chores as they had been doing when the
is known as a token economy. The goal of a token economy system is to increase a target behavior through the usage of tokens that are exchangeable for backup reinforcers (Alberto & Troutman, 2009, pg. 230). According to Alberto and Troutman (2009), token economies are used in both special education classrooms, as well as general education classrooms. According to Alberto and Troutman (2009), in order for a token economy system to properly work, there must be two components: the tokens, and then the
drastically decrease downtime. Ring Each workstation on the network is connected to two other workstations, forming a loop or ring. Conflicts in the transmission of data are avoided with token ring technology, which grants messages a "token" or permission to send. Each workstation receives, regenerates and retransmits a token signal until it reaches its destination. (Bloom, 1998). The variations in connection methods by topology bring about their differences in layout and functionality. A Mesh connects
Token ring is a local area network protocol which resides at the data link layer (DLL) of the OSI model. It uses a special three-byte frame called a token that travels unidirectionally around a star-wired logical ring. Token ring frames travel completely around the loop. The name 'Token Ring' is misleading since the physical topology is a loop. Each station passes or repeats the special token frame around the ring to its nearest downstream neighbor. This token-passing process is used to arbitrate

While comedy, law, and crime can make works about the economy more enticing, one of the best methods to spice up a work is to add romance to the plot. Unfortunately, vanilla works about the economy are inherently uninteresting to society; there is hardly anything interesting about a mild mannered businessman’s life to an audience. By mixing in romance, love, and marriage, which
When I have the opportunity to be part of a group of negotiation and defend the position of my country during a meeting in the World Trade Organization, I was convinced that I wanted to play that role for the rest of my life. The first approach that I had in the area of international affairs started when I was studying my bachelor degree in Language, Business and International Studies at the Catholic University of Ecuador. I was part of the student council and we organized the first Model of United
Recent research into regionalism and economic geography suggests that, in addition to an increasing global flow of ideas, capital, goods and labour, geographical proximity between states may also increase their level of cooperation (Tanja, 2011; Kurian and Vinodan, 2013). According to the Economic Commission for Africa (2006) Regions are subjectively determined (and thus debatable) areas that are perceived to have certain characteristics in common. They may be defined by physical geography;
Introduction Macroeconomics theories are scientific theories that provide policy recommendations that could be used to improve the performance of the economy and to correct macroeconomic problems (Dadkhah, 2009). These theories were developed to give insights about economic problems experienced by countries and regions. They have implications concerning unemployment, inflation and the gross domestic product (output). Such theories include classical economics, Keynesian economics, aggregate market
an ancient economy must choose between food and shelter, weapons and tools, priests and hunters. In a modern economy the potential variety of goods and services that may be produced is immense. Consider simply the 10,000 new book titles that are published each year or the hundreds of colors of paint or the thousands of styles of clothing that are produced--each of these actual collections being much smaller than modern technology permits. The second function of the price system an economy must perform
Introduction Gender Pay Gap also referred to as Gender wage gap, gender income difference or male-female income difference refers to the difference between the earning of men and women (Victoria, 2006). The European Union defines the Gender Pay gap as the difference between men and women’s hourly earnings (OECD, 2012). The difference may be measured on hourly, weekly, monthly, or yearly earning. The difference is expressed as a percentage of the men’s earning. However, the difference varies from

transformation of Japanese society. Global processes have increased wages and homelessness, strengthened environmental management programs, shifted governance towards regionalism, and threatened linguistic diversity in Japan. Numerous studies on Japan’s economy provide both the positive and negative effects of globalization. Nakamura (2013) used Japanese wage censuses from 1998, 2000, and 2002 to explore the effects of inward and outward foreign direct investment (FDI) on the wages of Japanese workers in
International business in Argentina A democratic and free market depends on the successful incorporation of ethical features and values. These values include country’s features like collaboration, trust, loyalty, justice and mutual respect. Trust in business has the potential to be undermined by demonstrably unethical acts by the host government or other players in the business. Unethical practices in the business contribute to both deprivation of confidence in the operations of the company. It
