Sticker Charts as a Token Economy
Sticker charts are a common form of a token economy used to modify behavior, particularly with children. In this system, an individual receives a sticker—a token—each time they perform a desired action. After accumulating a predetermined number of stickers, they can exchange them for a larger prize or reinforcer.
