pinch is a consequence to the pinching behavior. - ANSWER consequence
24.3-term contingency - ANSWER Also referred to as the ABC's of behavior
(antecedent-behavior-consequence). It illustrates how behavior is elicited by
the environment and how the consequences of behavior can affect its future
occurrence.
25.Positive Reinforcement - ANSWER A type of reinforcement in which the
PRESENTATION of the stimulus is contingent upon the response, resulting
in an INCREASE in the future probability of that response.
