Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary reinforcers, also known as conditioned reinforcers, are initially neutral stimuli that acquire reinforcing properties by being consistently paired with established or primary reinforcers (such as food, water, or social approval). Over time, they become able to influence behaviour through their association with those more tangible, biologically significant reinforcers. Examples of secondary reinforcers include verbal praise, money, tokens or points in a token economy system.
