conditioned reinforcer
A conditioned reinforcer. It is a stimulus that gains reinforcing properties through association with a primary reinforcer, making it effective in influencing behavior.
A conditioned reinforcer is a stimulus that has taken on the properties of a reinforcer. When trainers are training dogs, they use the process of a conditioned reinforcer.
A primary reinforcer is a stimulus that is inherently rewarding to an organism without the need for prior learning or conditioning, such as food, water, or sex. These reinforcers satisfy basic biological needs and are often effective in shaping behavior.
Food = Hunger, Water = Thirst. Food serves as a primary reinforcer for a hungry rat, and water serves as a primary reinforcer for a thirsty one. Note: A primary reinforcer is any stimulus or event that by its mere delivery or removal acts naturally (without learning). Hope it helped, - Azad Prestek
Yes, escape from an aversive stimulus can be a negative reinforcement, as the behavior of escaping is strengthened by the removal of the aversive stimulus. In other words, the individual learns that performing the escape behavior results in a desirable outcome, which increases the likelihood of the behavior being repeated in similar situations.
Positive reinforcement involves adding a reinforcing stimulus after a behavior to make it more likely that the behavior will be repeated. Positive reinforcement can be used both in good and bad situations.

Immediate reinforcement is when a reward or reinforcement is given immediately after a specific behavior has been exhibited. This type of reinforcement strengthens the likelihood of that behavior being repeated in the future. It provides clear feedback and helps to establish a strong connection between the behavior and the reward.
Satiation refers to how a reinforcer loses its effectiveness. For example, if someone is receiving chocolate as reinforcement, it is likely that after a time they will tire of it and no longer find it desirable. Satiation will occur if a reinforcer is given at too high a frequency, intensity or duration. Satiation tends to be linear - that is, a graph of the reinforcing effect of a stimulus against the amount of the stimulus will be a straight line falling off from left to right. There will be be a quantity of the stimulus greater than which it will start to function as a punisher. When satiation begins, the rate at which the desired behavior is displayed tapers off until it halts. This is very common with primary (or unconditioned) reinforcers such as food. Secondary (or conditioned) reinforcement such as activities, social opportunities, and learning activities tend to be more immune to satiation. General reinforcers such as money or praise - that is, secondary reinforcers that are associated with more than one primary reinforcer - are also resistant to satiation.

acquisition
Yes. check the Journal Article "Punishment as a discriminative stimulus and conditioned reinforcer with humans"
The strongest associations between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus are formed through repeated pairings of the two stimuli. When the conditioned stimulus reliably predicts the unconditioned stimulus, learning occurs through classical conditioning. The more consistent and closely timed the pairings, the stronger the association becomes.
Positive reinforcement involves adding a reinforcing stimulus after a behavior to make it more likely that the behavior will be repeated. Positive reinforcement can be used both in good and bad situations.
The process is called "acquisition" in classical conditioning. During acquisition, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits a response similar to the unconditioned stimulus.
Habits
sure! But it can also be affected by the reinforcing stimulus provided by a tree or a rock too--
