Answer 14

events that follow an action

Question 15

reinforcement

Answer 15

use of consequence to strengthen behaviour

strengthens behaviour by presenting desired stimulus when the behaviour occurs

Premack principle (David Premack 1965)

Answer 32

Grandma’s rule : do something you don’t like and then you can do something you do like.
