Detailed explanation-1: -The best example of secondary reinforcement is: money. Sophia stays out too late dancing, and her parents want to punish her so she won’t stay out too late next time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Developed by B.F Skinner, operant conditioning is a way of learning by means of rewards and punishments. This type of conditioning holds that a certain behavior and a consequence, either a reward or punishment, have a connection which brings about learning.
Detailed explanation-3: -Have your kids ever cleaned their room, just to avoid your nagging? This is a perfect example of negative reinforcement.
