Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary drives are a result of pairing with a primary drive, meaning they are learned and conditioned responses. For example, the drive to achieve success (a secondary drive) may be paired with the primary drive for food (basic survival need) through the reinforcement of good grades or job promotions. Thus, secondary drives are not innate or biologically driven, and they can also be reinforced independently of satisfying primary drives. They are not only used to reduce pain responses or reinforced only when primary drives are satisfied.
