Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: In a token economy, reinforcement must be continued if the desired behavior changes are to persist. When tokens are no longer provided, reinforced behaviors usually revert to their original state.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The token economy experiment was conducted on a ward of female psychotic patients in a state mental institution, which was treated as a giant Skinner box. The conditioning worked dramatically and the patients began interacting socially with one another and with the staff and even assumed some responsibility for patient care. Their self-esteem improved markedly, and they became less dependent.
