Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Premack proposed that reinforcement should be considered as the momentary probability of a response, rather than being based on the concept of drive. This means that the likelihood of a behavior occurring in the future is influenced by the occurrence of positive reinforcement in the moment. This perspective moves away from the idea that reinforcement is solely motivated by a drive-reduction theory and considers the immediate consequences of behavior.
