Define primary vs secondary reinforcers

Using the Primary Reinforcers and Secondary Reinforcers knowledge points

• Primary reinforcers satisfy biological needs (e.g., food, water, sleep) and have innate reinforcing qualities.
• Secondary reinforcers (or conditioned reinforcers) have no inherent biological value; they derive their reinforcing power through association with primary reinforcers.

Classify money as a reinforcer

Using the Secondary Reinforcers knowledge point

• Money has no intrinsic biological value (you cannot eat or drink paper bills).
• It is highly reinforcing because it can be exchanged for primary reinforcers (like food and shelter).
• Therefore, money is a classic example of a secondary reinforcer.
