Coach LaFitte takes his soccer team to the ice cream shop after every game, whether they win or lose. What type of reinforcer is this?

Negative reinforcer
Contingent reinforcer
Non-contingent reinforcer
None of the above

Explanation

Answer: C - A non-contingent reinforcer is a reinforcer that occurs at the same time, regardless of the preceding behavior. Because Coach LaFitte treats his team to ice cream whether they win or lose, the ice cream is a non-contingent reinforcer. If the team only had ice cream after winning a game, it would be a contingent reinforcer.
