Primary - would meet the needs of very biological instant - food, water, sex, and affection. Secondary - grades, being part of a club, spending time on fb because you have done your two hours of studying. They are not less content, these are things to us, that are extremely important, and they are governing a lot of our behaviour they meet more of our fundamental needs. Being associated somehow with the meeting more long distant needs that are more primary eg. making money. When you are negatively reinforced, ua re reinforced, sometimes in a very powerful way .
