Damita and Anselmo's Children Have More Power in the Household

Damita and Anselmo's children have more power in the household than they do. They finally decide they've had enough and sign up for a parenting seminar. There they learn about a series of techniques that rely on operant conditioning to reduce children's undesirable behaviours and increase those that are desirable. In particular, they are encouraged to reinforce all desired behaviours systematically by allowing their children to earn plastic chips that can later be redeemed for predetermined rewards. This system is referred to as

A) a token economy.
B) a tricyclic.
C) a placebo control.
D) dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) .
E) commodifying.
