Which of the following is the best example of a conditioned reinforcer?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A conditioned reinforcer is a previously neutral stimulus that has been paired with a primary reinforcer (something that is inherently rewarding, such as food or water) to acquire its reinforcing properties. In this case, receiving an approving nod from the boss has been paired with the primary reinforcer of achieving a job well done. Consequently, the approving nod becomes a conditioned reinforcer that may increase the likelihood of the employee repeating the same behavior in the future. The other options (putting on a coat, relief from pain, receiving a cool drink) do not involve the pairing of a neutral stimulus with a primary reinforcer to create a conditioned reinforcer.
