Motivating operations Flashcards

1
Q

Motivating operations

A

Change how much an organism wants something. A degree of deprivation increases the value of a reinforcer.

Q

Food as an example of an EO and AO.

A 
Food deprivation (EO) increases the reinforcing effectiveness of food, and increases the current frequency of behaviours reinforced with food.
Food ingestion (AO) decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of food, and decreases the current frequency of behaviours reinforced with food.

Q

Conditioned MOs (CMO)

A

Motivating variables that alter the reinforcing effectiveness of other stimuli, objects or events, but only as a result of an organism’s learning history.

14
Q

A previously neutral stimulus that, following temporal association with a UMO independently alters the probability of associated behaviours.
eg. hunger (UMO) paired with 12:00 (neutral). 12:00 becomes CMO-S and makes person feel hungry without presence of UMO.

A

CMO-S

15
Q

A previously neutral stimulus that acquires its motivative effect through correlation with a set of worsening or improvement conditions.
Its onset establishes the value of its removal or continued presence.
eg. pain

A

CMO-R

16
Q

Stimuli in the context of which the existing conditioned reinforcers or punishers is altered, as is the likelihood of behaviours occurring that have been associated with such behaviours in the past.
eg. thirsty: can machine (Sd), money (S2), coin in slot (R), drink (C).

A

CMO-T

17
Q

‘Threat’ CMO or ‘promise’ CMO

A

CMO-R

18
Q

Can teach a chain of behaviours to obtain reinforcement

A

CMO-T

19
Q

MOs have important implications for treatment effectiveness.

A
  • FA methodology
  • Alter the effectiveness of reinforcers (impact effectiveness of interventions and preference assessment outcomes).
  • Alter the effectiveness of treatments
