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.
