A
token
reinforcement
system
for
the
reduction
of
institutionalized
behavior
in
a
chronic
psychiatric
ward
is
described.
Quantitative
assessments
were
made
of
the
effects
of
the
system
on
five
types
of
positively
reinforced
behavior,
two
types
of
unreinforced
behavior,
and
two
types
of
fined
behavior.
To
assess
whether
these
effects
were
a
function
of
the
token
pro-
cedures,
three
experiments
were
carried
out,
the
first
removing
tokens
for
a
brief
period,
the
second
making
tokens
non-contingent
on
behavior,
and
the
third
removing
fines
in
one
area
while
maintaining
them
in
another.
The
token
procedures
were
found
to
be
the
source
of
the
observed
improvements.
