Secondary reinforcers: don"t satisfy any physiological need; praise, money, good grades, and trophies are examples. Concrete reinforcer: is an actual object something that can be touched (e. g. , a snack, scratch- and-sniff sticker, or toy). Social reinforcer: is a gesture or sign (e. g. , a smile, attention, praise, or thank you ) that one person gives another, usually to communicate positive regard. Activity reinforcer: is an opportunity to engage in a favorite pastime. Learners will often do one thing, even something they don"t like to do, if completing the task enables them to do something they enjoy. Extrinsic reinforcers: those provided by the external environment (often by other people). Intrinsic reinforcer: those that come from learners themselves or are inherent in tasks being performed.
