Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alice's parents are using a token economy program, where Alice is rewarded with marbles for completing a desired behavior of cleaning her room and making her bed properly. This token, or "marble", can then be exchanged for a larger, more valuable reward (the video game) once she reaches the predetermined amount of 100 marbles.
