Answer:

The Answer is C) Token economy.

Explanation:

A token economy is a psychological technique which rewards  good or appropriate behavior with tokens that can be interchanged for something desired.

Items such as a chip, coin, star, sticker, or in this case a coupon is a token token that is exchanged for what the patient Lester truly wants in this case a cigarette.

A token economy may also be used outside of a psychiatric hospital. It could be used in business to promote a the purchase of a specific item or in schools to activate or actuate a specific kind of behaviour.

For example,  tokens may be used as a way of “paying” children for completing tasks and the children can then use these tokens to buy desired activities or items such as sweets, icecream or toys.

Cheers!
