The loss of all tokens through response cost will negate the positive reinforcement of the desirable behaviors, because the individual does not have tokens to exchange for backup reinforcers. In addition, if an individual loses all of the accumulated tokens through response cost, problem behaviors may continue because the individual has nothing to lose.
