Which type of reinforcer depends upon learning?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A secondary reinforcer is dependent upon learning, as it is a neutral stimulus that gains its reinforcing qualities through association with a primary reinforcer or another secondary reinforcer. A primary reinforcer, on the other hand, is inherently reinforcing (e.g. food), while a negative reinforcer functions by the removal of an aversive stimulus and a positive reinforcer functions by the presentation of a desirable stimulus.
