Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary reinforcement refers to the association of a behavior with a consequence that has been previously associated with a primary reinforcer (such as food, water, or other basic needs). The majority of human behavior is maintained by the pursuit of secondary reinforcers such as money, praise, social approval, and other abstract rewards rather than direct physical needs.
