The other is the use of falsifications and corroborations to explain progress in science. Lakatos described four kinds of falsificationisms: Lakatos used dogmatic and naive falsificationism to describe how Popper changed over time and viewed sophisticated falsificationism as his refinement, but also said that Popper sometimes presents as a sophisticated falsificationist.
