Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A conditioned reinforcer is similar to a conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning. In classical conditioning, a conditioned stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned response, while in operant conditioning, a conditioned reinforcer becomes associated with a primary reinforcer through pairing with a behavior that produces a desirable outcome. Both types of conditioning involve the establishment of associations between stimuli and responses.
