Question

a reinforcer is ______ that gets you to repeat or increase a behavior. something specific anything something learned

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In the context of behavioral psychology (a subfield of Social Science, specifically Psychology), a reinforcer is defined as anything (it can be a stimulus, event, etc.) that increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated or increased. "Something specific" is too narrow as reinforcers don't have to be specific in a restrictive sense, and "something learned" is incorrect because reinforcers can be innate or unlearned (like primary reinforcers such as food for a hungry organism). So the correct option is "anything".

Answer:

B. anything
