Footnote
*
For simplicity’s sake, I use the terms
reward
,
reinforcer
, and
reinforcement
interchangeably throughout the book. To the purist, as a psychologist, I recognize the subtle different meanings of the terms but choose to use them interchangeably in an effort to enhance the readability of the text without misrepresenting the idea being expressed.
