Voucher-based reinforcement

Voucher-based reinforcement is a behavioral strategy where individuals earn vouchers—like coupons or certificates—by demonstrating desired behaviors. These vouchers can later be exchanged for goods, services, or privileges. The approach aims to motivate positive behavior change by providing immediate, tangible rewards that reinforce the behavior, making it more likely to be repeated. It's commonly used in settings like healthcare, education, or substance abuse treatment to encourage progress and maintain motivation over time.
