Answer: reinforcers.

This question is referred to operant conditioning.

Operant conditioning is the change on behavior (learning) due to the association of an stimulus with a response.

The reinforcers are stimulus that strengthen the behavior.

Getting food or water and terminating a painful electric shock are rewards to the organisms, so they reinforce the behavior associated with those acts. and they are all reinforcers.
