41. An animal trainer can use conditioned reinforcers , like clickers, to bridge the interval between response and positive reinforcement. 42. In order to delay satiation, reinforcer size should be as small as possible and still be effective for reinforcement. 43. Instead Lilienfeld suggest that again animal assisted therapy might be a short term reinforcer , not a long term one. 44.

That means that food both elicits a positive emotion and food will serve as a positive reinforcer ( reward ). 46.

The key difference between a reinforcer and a punisher is that one increases behavior, while the other one decreases behavior. 48. Research has established that 15 minutes is the maximum time that a child should be kept in time out from reinforcers . 49. A reinforcer or punisher affects the future frequency of a behavior most strongly if it occurs within seconds of the behavior. 50. However, the stimulus reinforcer relation was enhanced in the red context because the overall rate of food presentation was greater.
