Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behavioral momentum refers to the persistence of behavior in the presence of a stimulus for reinforcement, even when there are disruptive factors or challenges. This concept is analogous to the physical principle of momentum, where an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
