Driving around in the Florida summer without A/C makes me very hot! When I get to my destinations, I go straight to the water coolers and get some water. Being hot increased the value of water, thus it had an:
Establishing Effect
Abolishing Effect
Evocative Effect
Abative Effect
Establishing Effect
In relation to my getting water, the heat had an: _____ (increased my getting water).
Establishing Effect
Abolishing Effect
Evocative Effect
Abative Effect
Evocative Effect
Drinking water quenches my thirst, and cools me off, so I stop drinking water. Thus, in relation to drinking, having all that water had an:
Establishing Effect
Abolishing Effect
Evocative Effect
Abative Effect
Abative Effect
After drinking all that water, someone offers me another glass, and I decline. Thus, quenching my thirst decreased the value of water (momentarily), so quenching had an:
Establishing Effect
Abolishing Effect
Evocative Effect
Abative Effect
Abolishing Effect
establishes the reinforcing/punishing effectiveness of a consequence
establishing operations
abolishes the reinforcing/punishing effectiveness of a consequence
abolishing operations
A stimulus or event that INCREASES the VALUE of a reinforcer or punisher
Establishing Operations
A stimulus or event that DECREASES the VALUE of a reinforcer or punisher
Abolishing Operations
Increases the value of (has an establishing effect on) the stimulus as a reinforcer
Has an evocative effect on (evokes) behavior
Establishing Operations
Decreases the value of (has an abolishing effect on) the stimulus as a reinforcer
Has an abative effect on (abates) behavior
Abolishing Operations
Increases the value of (has an establishing effect on) the stimulus as a punisher
Has an abative effect on (abates) behavior
Establishing Operation
Decreases the value of (has an abolishing effect on) the stimulus as a punisher
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??

Driving around in the Florida summer without A/C makes me very hot! When I get to my destinations, I go straight to the water coolers and get some water. Thus the heat served as a:
Establishing Operation (EO) Abolishing Operation (AO) SD
Establishing Operation (EO)
The water cooler served as a:
Establishing Operation (EO) Abolishing Operation (AO) SD
SD
I haven’t eaten for several hours. I come up to one of my group homes that always have treats in a basket. I immediately grab a snack when I get there. Not eating for several hours served as a(n)
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) Establishing Operation (EO)
Establishing Operation (EO)
I haven’t eaten for several hours. I come up to one of my group homes that always have treats in a basket. I immediately grab a snack when I get there. The basket of treats served as a(n):
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) Establishing Operation (EO)
Discriminative Stimulus (SD)
Laurie had a stressful day today. When she sees Paige, she asks her for a cigarette, and she gives her one. The stressful day served as a(n) ___for cigarette smoking.
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) Establishing Operation (EO)
Establishing Operation (EO)
With respect to asking for a cigarette, the sight of Paige functioned as:
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) Establishing Operation (EO)
Discriminative Stimulus (SD)
An abolishing operation for punishment decreases the value of a stimulus as a punisher, thus we say it has an _______ on the stimulus.
abolishing effect
An abolishing operation for punishment decreases the value of a stimulus as a punisher; the corresponding effect on behavior would be an:
evocative effect
Tom is very successful and makes good money. He takes the highway to work everyday. His salary has had a(n) _______________ on traffic tickets, which he receives frequently, and which do not hinder his speeding.
abolishing effect
Thus, Tom’s salary has had a(n) _______________ on his speeding.
evocative effect
I, on the other hand, barely get by (I’m a poor PhD student). Going back to school caused me to reduce my speeding behavior. My meager income had an _____ on the punishing value of speeding tickets.
establishing effect
In negative reinforcement, the aversive stimulus is NOT an SD, it is NEVER an SD. It is an __________ for ______.
EO for escape
Alarm goes off, I hit snooze button. The sound of the alarm functions a:
Establishing operation
The sound of the alarm increases the value of it’s termination as a reinforcer
Painful stimulation not only evokes escape behavior, but it also may evoke physical aggression towards others.
Signs of damage are established as__________ for aggressive behavior.
positive reinforcement
Conditioned motivating operations:
CMO-T (need something to achieve a result)
CMO-S (pairing)
CMO-R (threat, promise)
.
Antecedents in the 4 term contingency can be:
A) Discriminative stimulus and a motivating operation
B) SD and an S∆
C) EO and AO
D) MO and EO
A) Discriminative stimulus and a motivating operation
When you are deprived of food, this has a(n) \_\_\_\_\_\_ effect on that stimulus as a consequence. A) Behavior-altering B) Function-altering C) Value-altering D) Effective-altering
C) Value-altering
Which of the following statements is true:
A. A Reinforcer increases the probability that a particular consequence will follow behavior
B. An unconditioned stimulus increases the effectiveness of a consequence as a reinforcer or punisher
C. A discriminative stimulus increases the probability that a particular consequence will follow behavior
D. A motivating operation increases the probability that a particular consequence will follow behavior
C. A discriminative stimulus increases the probability that a particular consequence will follow behavior
Motivating operations Increase or decrease the ___________of a consequence as a reinforcer or punisher
