Good introduction. But I've a question. Isn't money is a secondary reinforcer? It's value is learned and it shares the property of secondary reinforcers that it is less susceptible to satiation.
Hello! Thank you for your comment and question! Very well pointed. Primary reinforcers are stimuli that inherently satisfy basic biological needs or drives. Money, while not a biological necessity in itself, is often directly associated with obtaining these primary reinforcers, due to which it sometimes acts as a primary reinforcer. In some lab studies, they found evidence that money lead to successful behavioural learning of contingencies and elicited activation in similar neural structures as primary reinforcers (Breiter and Rosen, 1999). If you are further interested in this topic perhaps this paper could be interesting for you: Delgado, M. R., Labouliere, C. D., & Phelps, E. A. (2006). Fear of losing money? Aversive conditioning with secondary reinforcers. Social cognitive and affective neuroscience, 1(3), 250-259. We will talk about this topic/paper in a future video! Again very well pointed! Thanks!
