Decreases the value of (has an abolishing effect on) the stimulus as a reinforcer
Has an abative effect on (abates) behavior

Has an evocative effect on (evokes) behavior
Abolishing Operation
They are both antecedent stimuli that evoke behavior! BUT…for different reasons:
SDs evoke behavior due to a history of reinforcement in the presence of that stimulus. They “signal” that reinforcement is available!
EOs evoke behavior because of a momentary increase in the value of reinforcement produced by that behavior in the past. So the outcome of the behavior is MORE reinforcing.
Availability vs. Motivation.
SO, the key question is: does it signal that reinforcement is available, or does it make you want it more??
