Intrinsic reinforcement refers to the inherent enjoyment or satisfaction that comes from performing an activity, and is not dependent on external factors or rewards.

Answer: C 
 Extrinsic reinforcement involves the use of external rewards or incentives to encourage a behavior or activity.

Answer: A 
 Secondary reinforcement refers to a neutral stimulus that becomes associated with a primary reinforcer (such as money or tokens) and is therefore able to function as a reinforcer itself.

 Negative reinforcement involves the removal or avoidance of an unpleasant or aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a desired behavior or activity.

Answer: E 
 Positive reinforcement involves the addition or presentation of a desirable stimulus (such as praise or a reward) to increase the likelihood of a desired behavior or activity.
