stimuli, such as food or warmth, that have reinforcement value without learning

secondary reinforcers
|
stimuli that increase the probability of a response because of their association with a primary reinforcer
|
|
|
positive reinforcers
|
encouraging stimuli that increase the frequency of a behavior when they are presented
|
|
|
negative reinforcers
|
unpleasant stimuli that increase the frequency of behavior when they are removed
|
|
|

a timetable for when and how often reinforcement for a particular behavior occurs
|
|
|
continuous reinforcement
|
the reinforcement of a desired response every time it occurs
|
|
|
partial reinforcement
