The video explains how to implement a token economy system in ABA. This talks about concepts as under:
- Identity target behaviours: choose observable, measurable, and specific behaviours you want to reinforce.
- Select token: Pick tokens that are safe, durable, accessible, and controlled by the instructor.
- Develop a menu of backup reinforcers: create a list of preferred, varied, and naturally occurring reinforcers.
- Establish a token exchange ratio: set a realistic, adjustable, and consistent ratio for exchanging tokens for reinforcers.
- Determine token dispensing and exchange: decide how tokens will be dispensed ad exchanged, and provide a menu and cost for each reinforcer.
- Implement and evaluate: try out the system, evaluate its effectiveness, and make necessary adjustments.
