future
reinforcer - correct answer ✔the stimulus change responsible for the
increase in responding
the importance of the immediacy of reinforcement must be emphasized -
correct answer ✔a response-to-reinforcement delay of just 1 sec can
diminish intended effects because the behavior temporally closest to the

Automaticity of reinforcement refers to the fact that a person does not have to
understand or be aware of the relation between his behavior and a reinforcing
consequence for - correct answer ✔reinforcement to occur
reinforcement strengthens - correct answer ✔any behavior that immediately
precedes it; no logical or adaptive connection between behavior and the

subjects behavior demonstrates the - correct answer ✔arbitrary nature of the
behaviors selected by reinforcement
