While training his dog, Mark first says the word "sit" and once the dog sits, he gives her a treat. Immediately after this, he s
ays, "Good dog!" He repeats the same process many times, and each time his dog sits after listening to his command. In this example, which of the following is the secondary reinforcer? A. The words "good dog"B. The treatC. The word "sit"D. Mark
In this case, we know that the primary reinforcer is the treat. The dog is gaining an immediate reward for doing what you wanted it to do. But even after it, you also praise the dog.
