Problems are caused by the behavior or events that proceed it. Richard Stuart.
Classical Conditioning
Pavlov - when a neutral stimulus was paired with a potent response eliciting stimulus.

Secondary Reinforcer
These are learned consequences that have been deemed as desirable by the individual, and so aquire reinforcing properties. They can be consequences such as monetary rewards, positive feedback or earning privalages.
