I wonder if the researchers had to use a 'differential reinforcement' of their own to get the subjects to stop hitting each other. Anyway, I'm sticking with D.

Haha, this question is a real 'time-out' for my brain! But I think D is the way to go - can't go wrong with the good old time-out.

I think A) aggression could also be a possible independent variable to consider.

I agree, D) time-out from reinforcement seems like the most effective method.

I'm going with C. The withdrawal design suggests they're looking at the return to baseline, so that has to be the independent variable, right?

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The question mentions comparing two procedures, so I'm wondering if the independent variable could be the 'procedure' itself. Maybe B is the right answer?
