Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Skinner called these favourable consequences "reinforcers," which strengthen the behaviour that precedes them. Bribes and rewards are similar concepts, but are not specific to Skinner's theory of operant conditioning. Unconditioned stimuli refer to stimuli that produce an automatic response without prior learning, which is not directly related to Skinner's theory.
