Having a gold star placed on one's spelling quiz would be a secondary reinforcer.

Like other forms of classical conditioning,conditioned taste aversion requires multiple pairings of stimuli.

Operant conditioning occurs when a stimulus similar to one that has already been conditioned elicits the same conditioned response.

Classical conditioning involves reflexive behaviours whereas operant conditioning involves voluntary behaviours.

An unconditioned stimulus is a stimulus that elicits a response automatically or reflexively.
