Those events that when presented or delivered (contingent upon a correct response) increase the future probability of that response.

Reinforcers whose effects depend upon past learning through association with primary reinforcers

Reinforcers that do not depend upon a particular motivation because their history is generalized across or associated with a variety of other reinforcers.

Providing information regarding performance (beyond praise for “correctness”) that influences future performance

Events that when removed or negated (contingent on a behavior) result in an increase in frequency of that behavior.

Actual contact with the aversive stimulus is terminated (contingent upon the correct response) which increases the future probability of that response.

Contact with the aversive stimulus doesn't occur as long as the correct response occurs which increases the future probability of that response.

The relationship between 1) the number of responses and amount of reinforcement; OR 2) responses and the time interval between delivery of reinforcement

Terminating the reinforcer for a response which results in a decreased rate of that response.

Events that when made contingent upon a response (follow a specified response immediately) will decrease the future probability of that response.

Response contingent loss of opportunity to obtain reinforcers which results in a decrease in that response.

Response contingent loss of reinforcers which results in a decrease in that response.
