________ are positive consequences that motivate behavior.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reinforcers are positive stimuli that increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated in the future. Biases are preconceived notions that can influence behavior but are not necessarily positive consequences. Behavioral antecedents refer to events or factors that precede a behavior, but again may not necessarily be positive. Effectors are not a term commonly used in psychology. Sanctions may influence behavior, but they can be positive or negative consequences, so they do not exclusively refer to positive consequences that motivate behavior.
