The program described is most similar to a token economy, where individuals receive tokens (in this case, stickers) for engaging in desired behaviors, which they can later exchange for something valuable (treats from the "treasure chest"). This method is often used in various settings, including with individuals with schizophrenia, to encourage positive behavior and skills.
