Episode 175 - Token Economies in Action

While token economies may be one of the earliest well-known examples of applied behavior analysis in practice, this may have led to two larger issues: overreliance and misunderstanding. This week, we review some older articles leveraging token economy technology in applied areas both old (classroom behavior!) and new (mining!) to see whether everything is as rose-colored as we might have remembered it.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
