Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cupcake is an example of a primary reinforcer because it is an innately rewarding stimulus that satisfies a basic need (hunger). In contrast, a certificate of achievement is an example of a secondary reinforcer because it only gains its value through association with a primary reinforcer (e.g. the accomplishment that earned the certificate).
