Primary Reinforcement

A stimulus that satisfies basic survival needs and is inherently rewarding, such as food, water, or warmth, used in behavioral conditioning.

Negative Reinforcer

A stimulus whose removal or avoidance following a behavior increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future.

Conditioned Stimulus
