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'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?

I think the answer is D. Time-out from reinforcement seems to be the independent variable being manipulated in the study.

I don't think so, because the study was specifically looking at the effects of time-out from reinforcement.

But what about A) aggression? Could that also be a possible independent variable?

I think it could also be A) aggression, as that is what they are trying to reduce.

But wouldn't the return to baseline also be considered as the independent variable?
