Unit 1 Flashcards
An environmental variable that alters the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event; and alters the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced or punished by that stimulus, object, or event.
Motivating operation
A motivating operation that establishes the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a consequence (reinforcer or punisher).
Establishing operation
A motivating operation that decreases the effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event as a consequence (reinforcer or punisher).
Abolishing operation
An increase in the momentary frequency of behavior.
Evocative effect
A decrease in the momentary frequency of behavior.
Abative effect
The effect of stimulus on a specific response may be innate, due to the evolutionary history of that species.
Phylogenic provenance
The effect of the stimulus on a specific response may be learned, due to the experiential history of the individual organism in the environment.

CEO (Sr+)
A motivating operation whose value-altering effect depends on a learning history.
Condition motivating operations
Acquire the properties of an EO through contingent pairing with UEOs in much the same way that stimuli become S (r)s through pairing.
Surrogate CEO
Acquire the properties of an AO through contingent pairing with UAOs in much the same way that stimuli become S (r)s through pairing.
Surrogate CAO
An event that establishes another stimulus as a necessary condition to complete the response that the first event evokes, and thus establishes that second stimulus as reinforcer.
Transitive CEO
Decrease in the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer and abate behavior which is maintained by the reinforcer whose value has been lowered (decreased).
Transitive CAO
Establishes its own termination as an effective form of negative reinforcement or punishment.
Reflexive CEO
Abolishes its own termination as an effective form of negative reinforcement or punishment.
Reflexive CAO
An EO for negative reinforcement; evokes avoidance behavior and evokes behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past.
Threat CEO-R
An AO for negative reinforcement; abates avoidance behavior and abated behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past.
Threat CAO-R
An EO for negative punishment; abates behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past.
Promise CEO-R
An AO for negative punishment; evokes behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past.
Promise CAO-R
Behavior that terminates an aversive stimulus.
Escape
Terminates a “warning” stimulus; prevents or delays the onset of the aversive stimulus.
Avoidance
a response terminates a warning stimulus
Signaled avoidance
A conditioned aversive stimulus whose presence is correlated with the upcoming onset of an unconditioned aversive stimulus.
warning stimulus
No clear warning stimulus, but a response can still delay or prevent the occurrence of the aversive event.
unsignaled avoidance
the onset of painful stimulation establishes the reduction or offset of this stimulation as an effective form of reinforcement and evokes behavior that achieved such reduction or offset.
negative reinforcement
