Answer 1

Answer:

Secondary reinforcement

Explanation:

The natural reinforcers are called primary reinforcers and they include air, food, sleep and air. Gillian's kids were to be given a reward after they were done with an approved chore which is a form of secondary reinforcement. However the difference between Gillian rewarding and bribing her kids is that she rewarded after they were done with the chore and not before.
