The belief that a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder will learn appropriate behaviors from continued positive reinforcement of acceptable behavior patterns can generate a research hypothesis
This generalization of the relationship between phenomena is known as which of the following? A) Null Hypothesis
B) Theory
C) Model
D) Framework
B
Feedback:
Classically, theory is defined as an abstract generalization that explains how phenomena are interrelated. The relationships in this case are between the concepts of ADHD and positive reinforcement. Models are more loosely structured than theories and deal more in abstracts. Frameworks relate to the conceptual underpinnings of a study. A null hypothesis suggests that no relationship exists between concepts. In this case, we are looking at the relationship between ADHD and positive reinforcement with the hypothesis that a relationship does exist.
