Question

All of the students in the remedial reading group have some disruptive behaviors that may interfere with learning, such as pushing or shov- ing each other, getting out of their seat, talking while the teacher is teaching, and making loud noises. Describe the response cost procedure you will implement as part of the token econ- omy with the reading group to decrease the fre- quency of these problem behaviors.

Answer 1

There will be a token economy set up, and for each student there will be a total of 10 tokens given at the beginning of a semester.

Now, the system would be such that each time a disruptive heavior would be performed, a token would be deducted. The 10 tokens signify an added garde point. If they are retained, then we'll good, but as they are deducted the garde points get affected.

In response cost procedure, usually a form of reinforcement is made extinct that follows after a behavior that is unwanted.

Hence, after disruptive behavior, their privileges would be deducted in form of token.
