Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adjunctive behavior, also known as schedule-induced behavior, can indeed function as a reinforcer for other behaviors, typically emerges during the post-reinforcement interval of a schedule of reinforcement, and becomes stronger as the level of deprivation for the primary reinforcer increases. These characteristics are well-documented in the literature on behavioral psychology.
