Reinforcement
25

Variable that is manipulated, changed or controlled 

What is independent variable (IV)?

25

Everything that an organism does

What is behaviour?

25
The removal of a stimulus following a response increases frequency of that response (under similar conditions)

What is negative reinforcement?

50

The most basic single-subject research design

What is A-B-A-B design?

50

Operates on environment to produce change, effect or consequence

What is an operant/operant behaviour?


50

Generates greater resistance to extinction than continuous reinforcement

What is partial reinforcement effect?

75

The design in which rate of target behaviour is progressively changed to new criterion

What is changing criterion design?

75

Physical form or characteristic of a response

What is topography?

75

Reinforcement of operant when one stimulus is present, but not the other

What is differential reinforcement?

100

The type of reversal design A-B-A-C-BC is 

What is multiple treatment reversal design?

100

The best answer in science

What is "it depends"?

100

The relationship definition between occasion, operant class and the consequences that follow the behaviour

What is contingency of reinforcement?
