Answer:

Primary

Explanation:

In psychology and operant conditioning, the term Primary reinforcer refers to the biological reinforcers that determine our behavior. In other words, they are part of our nature and reinforce behaviors in a natural way without a process of learning from us, since they are, by themselves, satisfying a biological need. Therefore, they have innate reinforcing qualities. Examples of these reinforcers would be: food, sex, water, sleep.

Therefore, in operant conditioning, a primary reinforcer is innately reinforcing, often by satisfying a biological need.

Kipish [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

This would be my letter.

Dear Sirs,

As the head of the Civilian Institute of the Environment, I would like to express my concern for the recent announcement of the construction of a mall 20ft at the edge of the coast.

My first concern is that a type of construction that size could have a negative impact on the beauty of the landscape of our town. This is a typical American town with classic buildings. A modern building like the one you showed in your project, could negatively impact our traditional landscape.

Furthermore, there is a technical concern that I would like you to answer and elaborate. The issue of coastal erosion could affect the foundation and the construction materials of the mall. With the pass of time, this will be a major risk in the security of the building.

That is why, on behalf of the members of our institution, would like to have a meeting to discuss these issues and solve many doubts that the citizens of this town have.

Thank you very much for your attention. I'll wait for your answer.

Sincerely,
