Tokens have the advantage of providing __________ reinforcement.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tokens provide immediate reinforcement since they can be given right after the desired behavior occurs, unlike primary reinforcement which usually requires some delay or preparation (e.g. preparing and serving a piece of candy as a reward). Tokens can also be exchanged later for other desirable outcomes, but the immediate reinforcement comes from receiving the token itself. Covert reinforcement refers to reinforcement that is not visible or directly observable, while vicarious reinforcement is reinforcement that occurs when observing someone else receiving a reward.
