Definitionv1DF-545
Reactivity
the phenomenon where self-monitoring alters the behavior being monitored through mechanisms including self-regulation, cuing, and external consequence activation
Why This Is a Definition
This definition clearly specifies the term 'reactivity' by identifying its genus (phenomenon of self-monitoring altering behavior) and differentia (through three specific mechanisms: self-regulation, cuing, and external consequence activation). It's precise enough to distinguish reactivity from simple observation effects and provides the operational boundaries of the concept within the curriculum's framework of cognitive infrastructure and personal epistemology.
