Unit 1 Flashcards
Motivating operation
An antecedent condition, operation or stimulus that alters the effectiveness (value) of a consequence and has a momentary effect on a dimension of behavior
Establishing operation
A motivating operation that has establishing effects; increases the effectiveness of a consequence
Abolishing operation
A motivating operation that has abolishing effects; decreases the effectiveness of a consequence, and has abolishing effects
Evocative effect
An increase in the momentaryfrequency of behavior
Abative effect
Adecrease in the momentaryfrequency of behavior
Phylogenic provenance
The effect of a stimulus on a specific response may be innate, due to the evolutionary history of that species(unlearned)
Ontogenic 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(learned)

2 Effects of EOs related to reinforcement
Reinforcer-establishing effect (value altering effect on reinforcement) and Evocative effect (on behavior)
2 Effects of AOs related to reinforcement
Reinforcer-abolishing effect (value altering effect on reinforcement) and Abative Effect (on behavior)
2 Effects of EOs related to Punishment
Punisher-establishing effect (value altering effect on punishment) and Abative Effect (on behavior)
2 Effects of AOs related to Punishment
Punisher-abolishing effect (value altering effect on punishment) and Evocative Effect (on behavior)
Conditionedmotivating operations
A motivating operation that alters the effectiveness of a consequence as a result of the individual organism’s learning history
3 General Types of CMOs
Surrogate, Transitive and Reflexive
Surrogate CEO
Acquiresthe properties of an EO through contingent pairing with UEOs
Surrogate CAO
Acquiresthe properties of an AO through contingent pairing with UAOs
Transitive CEO
An event thatestablishes another stimulus as a necessary condition to complete the response that the first event evokes, and thus establishes that second stimulus as a reinforcer
Transitive CAO
Decreases the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer and abates behavior that is maintained by the reinforcer whose value has been lowered
Reflexive CEO
Establishes its own termination as an effective form of negative reinforcement or punishment.
Reflexive CAO
Abolishes its own termination as an effective form of negative reinforcement or punishment.
Threat CEO-R
An EO for negative reinforcement; evokes avoidance behavior and evokes behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past.
Threat CAO-R
An AO for negative reinforcement; abates avoidance behavior and abatesbehavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past.
Promise CEO-R
An EO for negative punishment; abates behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past.
Promise CAO-R
An AO for negative punishment; evokes behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past.
Escape
Behavior that terminates an aversive stimulusand is maintained by negative reinforcement
Avoidance
A response usuallyterminates a “warning” stimulus; the response prevents or delays theonset of the aversive stimulus
Signaled avoidance
A response terminates a “warning” stimulus; the response prevents or delays the onset of the aversive stimulus.
Warning stimulus
A conditioned aversive stimulus whose presence is correlated with the upcoming onset of an unconditioned aversive stimulus.
Unsignaled avoidance
No clear warning stimulus, but a response can still delay or prevent the occurrence of the aversive event.
