Detailed explanation-1: -Water, food, sleep, shelter, sex, and touch, among others, are primary reinforcers. Pleasure is also a primary reinforcer. Organisms do not lose their drive for these things.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some examples of secondary reinforcers include: verbal praise, highly preferred activities, stickers, toys, and edibles. An example of pairing is saying to a toddler, “You did it!” and then the toddler gets a chance to play with a toy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unconditioned Reinforcer is also called a primary reinforcer. These are reinforcers that do not need to be learned, such as food, water, oxygen, warmth and sex. These are all primary drives that we have for basic survival and if they are deprived in any way, gaining access to these reinforcers is very motivating.
Detailed explanation-4: -Food, then, is a primary reinforcer, as it inspires eating, an innate response to that stimulus. Secondary reinforcers are learned, or conditioned, reinforcers. Secondary reinforcers begin as neutral stimuli, but become conditioned when paired with primary reinforcers linked to basic rewards.
