Explanation:

For Question 14:

• A reinforcer is defined in operant conditioning as a stimulus that increases the likelihood of a preceding behavior recurring. A stimulant is a substance that increases physiological activity. A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction. A rejoinder is a reply.

For Question 15:

• A secondary reinforcer is a stimulus that becomes reinforcing after being associated with a primary reinforcer (like money which can be used to buy candies - a primary reinforcer). A neutral stimulus initially has no effect. An unconditioned stimulus elicits an unconditioned response naturally. A primary reinforcer satisfies a biological need directly (like food, water).

Answer:

Question 14: d. reinforcer
Question 15: b. secondary reinforcer
