Gold stars; smiley faces; trophies; ribbons; pizza parties; Boz Scaggs concert tickets … 

These are all different iterations of the same type of ‘token economy’ reward system that is liberally applied in classrooms across the globe. 

I imagine you would be hard pressed to find any school that didn’t use some form of a token economy. In fact, some schools are pushing this ‘rewards arms race’ to new extremes -- many public schools in America, for example, are now using financial incentives (including direct bank deposits) as a motivational tool. 

Regardless of the specific mechanism, rewards systems are implemented with the goal of altering student behavior … and broadly speaking, they work. 

However, just because something works does not mean it’s an optimal solution. 

For example, imagine you went to the doctor’s office with a sore knee. The doctor could quickly eliminate your knee pain by amputating your entire leg, but it’s unlikely this approach would be the optimal one. 

And sure, that example is a bit ridiculous, but my point is many people take a narrow or short-term view of rewards systems without considering the longer-term effects. 

In this 'From Theory to Practice' video, I examine a classic piece of research that can help us do just that: 

The Token Economy: An Evaluative Review (Alan E. Kazdin and Richard R. Bootzin)

Here are some of the questions I tackle in this installment: 

What is the origin of the ‘token economy’, and how did it shape the reward systems that are often applied in schools and classrooms?

What is ‘generalizability’, and how does it impact the utility of any reward system applied across varying contexts?

Do reward systems actually promote long-term behavioral changes among students, or are any results simply dependent on the rewards themselves?

What is the ‘Crespi effect’, and how does it undermine a common strategy for using rewards systems?

What are three practical takeaways for schools and teachers that we can draw from this research? 

Give it a watch, and let me know what you think in the YT comments.

And, as always, if you find this video valuable, interesting and/or entertaining, you can support our channel by liking, sharing and subscribing ;)
