  • Informed consent
Explanation:

Removing an unpleasant stimulus after the response increases the behaviour, which is negative reinforcement.

WACE Year 12 Psychology practice should help students connect psychological concepts to visible evidence: stress responses, memory, sleep, learning data, placebo-controlled research, and mental wellbeing. These examples preview that visual reasoning before the no-login Psychology demo.
