Not sure if I get it... what exactly defines a behavioral contingency?

Craig 11 months ago

Option C is also a response to behavior, but not as clear-cut as D.

Xenia 11 months ago

Wait, how is biting your tongue not a contingency? Seems related to behavior too.

Rickie 11 months ago

Totally agree, Doris is clearly reacting to a request!

I think option D is the one with a behavioral contingency.

Timothy 12 months ago

I feel like D is about refusal rather than a contingency. I think C is the strongest option because it shows a reaction to behavior.

I'm torn between B and C. B has an action and a consequence, but C feels more like a direct intervention.

I remember practicing a question about consequences affecting behavior. Maybe it's C, since the staff person's request seems like a response to Susan's action.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know REST services use HTTP, but I'm not 100% sure if that's the most common protocol. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I feel like computer key signatures are really similar to computer passwords in terms of security, but I can't quite remember if that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different load balancing options. I'll need to review the details of each one to figure out which one is most appropriate for this scenario.
