List the 2 types of behavior-altering effects of a MO
Evocative, Abative
What are the 3 types of CMOs?
CMO-R, CMO-S, CMO-T
T/F: Stimulus equivalence requires the learner to have matching-to-sample already in their repertoire.
True
T/F: Stimulus equivalence requires
symmetry, reflexivity and reciprocity.
False, Transitivity
T/F: An establishing operation is an
environmental variable that increases the effectiveness of the stimulus as a reinforcer.
True
T/F: Establishing operations
(value-altering) can be either establishing or abolishing
True
T/F: The behavior altering effects of a MO can be eliciting or abative.
False, evocative
T/F: Unconditioned motivating
operations are unlearned.
True
T/F: A CMO-R is a stimulus that has been paired with another MO.
False, CMO-S
T/F: A SD signals the unavailability of reinforcement.
False, Availability
Something that
has been paired with another
stimulus. #Surrogate.
CMO-S
A stimulus that will help you
solve a problem and in that
that stimulus is more valuable.
CMO-T
A signal or warning sign that
things are about to get worse
or improve.
CMO-R
Increases the effectiveness of a
stimulus as a reinforcer
Establishing Operation
Decreases the effectiveness of
some stimulus as a reinforcer
Abolishing Operation
Stimulus Equivalence: A=A
Reflexivity
Stimulus Equivalence: A=B, B=A
Symmetry
Stimulus Equivalence: A=B, B=C, A=C
Transitivity
Signals the availability of
reinforcement
SD
Nancy arranges 3 stimuli cards in front of her learner in random order. She then presents a picture of a toothbrush and gives a verbal Sd: “what goes with a toothbrush?”. The learner scans the array of 3 stimulus cards and selects toothpaste. This is an example of….
conditional discrimination
Brandon gives his friend a list of words with the word “cat”. He asks him to determine which of the following words demonstrate non-equivalence with
the word “cat”
Yarn
Meghan is working with Tom, an 8 year old who is learning to expand his vocabulary. Currently with the word “angry” Tom can demonstrate
symmetry and reflexivity. Has Tom reached stimulus equivalence with the word angry?
no, you need symmetry, reflexivity and transitivity for stimulus
equivalence
John is teaching his student to identify common objects by the relation “bigger than” and “smaller than”. John is using which of the following with his client?
RFT (Relational Frame Theory)
Stephanie was explaining to her friend that when she walks up to her house door and pulls out her key she immediately feels like she has to urinate. This best describes which conditioned motivating operation?
CMO-S
Robert has been running. He comes in hot and very thirsty. He pours
himself a glass of water. In this scenario, being thirsty has functioned as a _______________ for pouring himself a glass of water.
Establishing Operation
You have passed an exam for your Assessment and Placement class. You no longer need to study for that exam. At this moment, passing the exam is serving as a ________________ for studying.
Abolishing Operation
You are interviewing for your dream job. You are driving at a high rate of speed down the highway so that you can get there in time. The MO of getting there in time is producing what kind of effect on your speeding
behavior?
Evocative Effect
Casey sits down to eat a meal and eats so much seafood that she is full. She is offered a plate of more seafood but does not accept it. In that moment, the MO of being full is having what kind of effect on Casey’s eating seafood behavior?
Abative Effect
Jordan has been taught to point to a picture of a cat when she sees the
written word CAT. Without being trained she can point to the written word CAT when she sees a picture of a cat. What is Jordan demonstrating?
Symmetry
Luis has been taught to point to his mother when he hears the word
“mother”. He also has been taught to point to the written word MOTHER when he hears the word “mother”. He now can point to his mother when he sees the written word MOTHER. What is Luis demonstrating?
Transitivity
Liat is testing her client to see if they can demonstrate stimulus
equivalence. What 3 things must Liat see her client demonstrate?
Reflexivity, Symmetry, Transitivity
You are going into a haunted house with your friends. Before you enter,
you are told that if you hear classical music the house is going to
disappear into another dimension #scaryAF. You and your friend hear classical music and run out of the house. What kind of CMO is being
demonstrated?
CMO-R
You are getting ready to take your dog out. However, you cannot find the leash. You start walking around trying to find the leash as you cannot take your dog out without it. You find the leash and are able to take the dog out. Finding the leash in this scenario is what type of CMO?
CMO-T
You are watching a commercial where they are showing a mouthwatering slice of chocolate cake. This has been paired with the pleasure you have gotten in the past from eating the actual cake and your mouth starts to water. Seeing the chocolate cake on TV is what type of CMO?
CMO-S

UMO
