This is an example of operant conditioning. In this scenario, the sticker chart serves as a positive reinforcement for the kids to encourage and reward them for getting ready on time. By providing a reward (the bunk bed) for desired behavior (being ready before 7 a.m.), the aim is to increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring in the future.
