BEHV 101 Week 7 Flashcards
Motivating Operation (MO)
Stimules that:
(a) Alters the effectiveness of some stimulus as a reinforcer, and
(b) Alters the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus
Establishing Operation
A Motivating Operation (MO) that results in an increase in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus
Value-Altering Effect
Increase or decrease in reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus
Behavior-Altering Effect
Increase or decrease in CURRENT frequency of a behavior that has been reinforced by a stimulus
Function-Altering Effect
Change in organism’s repertoire of MO, stimulus & response relations caused by learning history
Reinforcer-Abolishing Effect
A decrease in reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus caused by a MO
Reinforcer-Establishing Effect
An increase in reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus caused by a MO
Evocative Effect
Increase in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus
Abative Effect
Decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus
Abolishing Operation (AO)
MO that results in a decrease in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus
Unconditioned Motivating Operation (UMO)
Stimulus conditions with value-altering motivating effects that are unlearned
Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO)
MOs that alter the reinforcing effectiveness of other stimuli as a result of learning history
Surrogate CMO (CMO-S)
Accomplishes the same outcome as the MO with which it was paired
Reflexive CMO (CMO-R)
Alters a relation to itself rather than the MO with which it was paired
Transitive CMO (CMO-T)
Makes another MO effective as opposed to altering itself
