Motivating Operations : An advanced Analysis
An antecedent condition, operation or stimulus that alters the effectiveness (value) of a consequence and has a momentary effect on a dimension of behavior
Motivating operation
A motivating operation that has establishing effects; increases the effectiveness of a consequence
Establishing operation
A motivating operation that has abolishing effects; decreases the effectiveness of a consequence, and has abolishing effects
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 a stimulus on a specific response may be innate, due to the evolutionary history of that species (unlearned)
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 (learned)
Ontogenic provenance

2 Effects of EOs related to reinforcement
Reinforcer-abolishing effect (value altering effect on reinforcement) and Abative Effect (on behavior)
2 Effects of AOs related to reinforcement
Punisher-establishing effect (value altering effect on punishment) and Abative Effect (on behavior)
2 Effects of EOs related to Punishment
Punisher-abolishing effect (value altering effect on punishment) and Evocative Effect (on behavior)
2 Effects of AOs related to Punishment
A motivating operation that alters the effectiveness of a consequence as a result of the individual organism’s learning history
Conditioned motivating operations
Surrogate, Transitive and Reflexive
3 General Types of CMOs
Acquires the properties of an EO through contingent pairing with UEOs
Surrogate CEO
Acquires the properties of an AO through contingent pairing with UAOs
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 a reinforcer
Transitive CEO
Decreases the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer and abates behavior that is maintained by the reinforcer whose value has been lowered
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 abates 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 and is maintained by negative reinforcement
Escape
A response usually terminates a “warning” stimulus; the response prevents or delays the onset of the aversive stimulus
Avoidance
A response terminates a “warning” stimulus; the response prevents or delays the onset of the aversive 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
