Q

Which could be a dependent variable for a student in a classroom?
time from onset to completion
rate at which the teacher delivers reinforcement
number of correct math problems completed in a minute
aggression

A

number of correct math problems completed in a minute

The INDEPENDENT VARIABLE is the arrangement of events by the experimenter to exert control over the target behavior. It is what the experimenter does to influence behavior. Examples include implementation of a reinforcement procedure, employing a different prompting procedure, using a new curriculum, changing the physical environment, and introduction of a medication. Note that a DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the target behavior and the dimension of that behavior that is being measured (e.g., rate of greetings, duration of study, frequency of hand biting). (Bailey & Burch, 2002, pp. 64-76; Cooper, Heron, & Heward., 1987, pp. 148-150; Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007, pp. 164-166; Johnston & Pennypacker, 1993b, pp. 9, 367; Poling et al., 1995 p. 2)
