Definitions:

Negative Reinforcement

A reinforcement procedure in which a response is followed by the removal, delay, or decrease in intensity of an unpleasant stimulus; as a result, the response becomes stronger or more likely to occur.

Primary Reinforcer

A stimulus that is inherently reinforcing, typically satisfying a physiological need; an example is food.

Secondary Reinforcer

A stimulus that has acquired reinforcing properties through association with other reinforcers.

Classical Conditioning

A learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired; a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone.
