applicative.

applicative order reduction
<programming> An evaluation strategy under which an expression is
evaluated by repeatedly evaluating its leftmost innermost redex. This means that
a function's arguments are evaluated before the function is applied. This method
will not terminate if a function is given a non-terminating expression as an
argument even if the function is not strict in that argument. Also known as
call-by-value since the values of arguments are passed rather than their names.
This is the evaluation strategy used by ML, Scheme, Hope and most procedural
languages such as C and Pascal.
See also normal order reduction, parallel reduction.
