Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A conditioned reinforcer is one that has acquired reinforcing value through association with a primary (or unconditioned) reinforcer. A primary reinforcer, such as food or water, is naturally rewarding and does not require prior learning or association. Therefore, a conditioned reinforcer is associated with a primary reinforcer and is learned through conditioning.
