Definitions:

Reinforcer

In behavior psychology, a stimulus that increases the likelihood that a specific behavior will occur.

Unconditioned Stimulus

A stimulus that naturally elicits a reflexive response without the need for prior conditioning.

Premack Principle

A principle of reinforcement that states a more probable behavior can be used as a reward for a less probable one to increase the less probable behavior.

Secondary Reinforcer

A stimulus that has become rewarding through its association with a primary reinforcer, which satisfies basic biological needs.
