  2. Katherine receives a token (as part of a token economy) every time she brushes her teeth before going to bed. This is an example of:

    Punishment
    Negative reinforcement
    Positive reinforcement
    None of the above

    I thought the answer to this question would be positive reinforcement because you are adding giving a reward (the token) to increase behavior (brushing teeth), but it says the correct answer is none of the above. Can someone explain that to me? or is the response to this question marked incorrectly?

    • Hi Abby,
      You’re absolutely correct. The answer should be Positive Reinforcement in this scenario. It was a typing error, and we’ve now corrected it.

  3. 49. Katherine receives a token (as part of a token economy) every time she brushes her teeth before going to bed. This is an example of:

    None of the above
    The answer is positive reinforcement and here none of the above is marked as the correct answer, this would be a mistake.
