When Bobby is hungry, tired and thirsty, he resolves this by getting food, water and sleep. These are examples of __________

A) primary reinforcement.
B) secondary reinforcement.
C) partial reinforcement.
D) continuous reinforcement.

Primary Reinforcement

A stimulus that satisfies a basic biological need and inherently reinforces a behavior, such as food for hunger.

Continuous Reinforcement

A schedule of reinforcement in which every correct response is reinforced, leading to rapid learning but also rapid extinction of the behavior once reinforcement ceases.

Secondary Reinforcement

A process wherein a stimulus reinforces a behavior because it is associated with a primary reinforcer (e.g., praise that becomes rewarding because it is linked to receiving a physical reward).
