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!

Answer:

c) a token economy

Explanation:

A token economy rewards or compensates good behavior with tokens that can be swapped for something desired or preferred. It can come in form of a chip, coin, sticker, star, or any other thing that can be substituted for what the student, patient or any individual wants to buy.

For example, Teachers offer students a token whenever their behavior is in match with the desired behavior. In the question we can see that Lester is rewarded with a coupon every time he shows an appropriate behavior.

Analyze the long-term benefits of participating in a regular activity. Organize your thoughts and write a 3 paragraph essay, exp
miss Akunina [59]

To summarize- the long term affects of regular activity can not only keep you healthy, but it can benefit you both mentally and physically. If you get out of the house and go for a walk, you can interact with nature, other people, animals, and it can improve your mental state. It is proven that the sun can help boost your seratonin levels and can help you stay more energized as well as calm you down and keep you focused. Staying active and taking care of yourself also could also extend your life span. If you don't do any exercise or regular activities, it can lead to health conditions that could possibly be life threatning. You could over eat, get depressed, lose social connections with friends and family and in the end have an early death.

I'm sure you could go more into detail about each of those ideas and come up with a few more but that's just a start. Hope it helped!
