which is a more modern way of thinking about the impact of reinforces on the likelihood of repeating a specific, rewarded behavior People are capable of choosing behaviors based on their anticipated outcomes, but lower animals are unable to make such a choice. Animals will learn about the consequences of an action and will perform it based on how much they value those consequences. All stimuli have the same capacity to encourage behaviors, whether they are pleasant of unpleasant. It is believed that rewards cannot strengthen behaviors unless punishments have also been received in response to the same behaviors. A neutral stimulus can come to elicit a response that was previously associated with a different stimulus.
