Question

a previously neutral stimulus that has been paired a number of times with an established reinforcer and consequently functions as a reinforcer itself. select one answer a) conditioned punisher b) conditioned stimulus c) conditioned reinforcer d) positive reinforcer

Explanation:

A conditioned reinforcer is a previously neutral stimulus that, through pairing with an established reinforcer, comes to function as a reinforcer itself. A conditioned punisher would decrease behavior, a conditioned stimulus elicits a response but isn't necessarily a reinforcer, and a positive reinforcer is a primary or unconditioned reinforcer in its own right without prior pairing to gain reinforcing properties.

Answer:

C. conditioned reinforcer
