What is a token economy?

A type of prompt fading where you start with the most intrusive level of prompt and then move to the next, decreasing in intrusiveness.
Most to least prompting
This type of differential reinforcement procedure is used when you want behaviors to occur at a gradually higher rate.
DRH
