Detailed explanation-1: -Primary reinforcers are naturally reinforcing and do not need to be learned. They fulfill a biological need and are not dependent on their association with other reinforcers. Examples include food, sleep, water, sexual stimulation, or relief from heat or cold.
Detailed explanation-2: -The clicker is commonly called a conditioned reinforcer . It is a neutral stimulus paired consistently with a primary reinforcer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water, food, sleep, shelter, sex, and touch, among others, are primary reinforcers. Pleasure is also a primary reinforcer.
Detailed explanation-4: -A widely promulgated form of secondary reinforcement in dog training is the use of a handheld metal noisemaker known as a “clicker” that is first paired with food, after which the “click” can be used to audibly signal the performance of a desired behavior in the animal (Pryor, 1999).
Detailed explanation-5: -Money, as previously mentioned, is an example of a secondary reinforcer, which acquires its reinforcing properties through its association with primary reinforcers (i.e. money can be used to acquire food).
