Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A secondary reinforcer is a stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its association with a primary reinforcer. In this case, the tie is not inherently rewarding, but it gains value because it is associated with the primary reinforcer (the help in locating a good used car). Therefore, the tie is an example of a secondary reinforcer.
