PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -A primary reinforcer, also called an unconditioned reinforcer, is a stimulus that has innate reinforcing qualities. These kinds of reinforcers are not learned. Water, food, sleep, shelter, sex, touch, and pleasure are all examples of primary reinforcers: organisms do not lose their drive for these things.

Detailed explanation-2: -A Primary Reinforcer is a biologically important stimulus to an organism, such as food, water, sleep, shelter, safety, pleasure, and sex. It leads to an involuntary response, such as recoiling, drooling, and trembling.

Detailed explanation-3: -Food, drink, and pleasure are the principal examples of primary reinforcers. But, most human reinforcers are secondary, or conditioned. Examples include money, grades in schools, and tokens.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Food is a Primary Reinforcer: that needs no previous experience to be reinforcing; such as food, security, using instinctive behaviours.
