reinforcer
A reinforcer is a stimulus, event or action that, when presented after a particular behavior, increases the likelihood of that behavior being repeated in the future. It is a concept mainly used in operant conditioning within the field of psychological behavior analysis. It can either be positive (adding a desirable stimulus to encourage the behavior) or negative (removing an undesirable stimulus to encourage the behavior). The concept is key to understanding reward-based learning.
