Abstract

If token reward systems do exert control of behavior in the classroom, it should be possible to test the various hypotheses: (1) A token reward system increases academic test performance in a classroom not defined as exceptional, (2) The increase in test performance is equivalent across academic courses, (3) In terms of maximum performance there are optimum levels of reinforcement.
