Characteristics of Mo's
Any environmental variable that momentarily alters the effectiveness of some stimulus, object or event as a reinforcer, AND the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus, object, or event.
What is an establishing operation?
Food deprivation/satiation and painful stimulation/reduction have unlearned value altering effects also known as this.
What is an unconditioned motivating operation (UMO)?
Presenting the previous neutral stimulus without the effective MO or presenting the MO as often in the absence of the CMO-S as well as in its presence
What is MO Unpairing?
A decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event
What is the abative effect?
You haven’t eaten for the past six hours. You go to a restaurant to order a meal and wait to be served. To place your food order you must get the attention of the waiter. Food deprivation is your UMO and the sight of the waiter is this MO.
What is a Transitive Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO-T)?
This determines the reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event.
Value-Altering Effect
An increase in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event
What is the evocative effect?
A neutral stimulus that gets its MO by being paired with a UMO
What is a surrogate conditioned motivating operation (CMO-S)?
A state of deprivation that increases the value of a reinforcer.
What is the reinforcer establishing effect?
What is an abolishing operation?
When a MO decreases its reinforcing effectiveness
An increasingly unpleasant sequence of emotional reactions sets the occasion for escape (Mayer et al., 2022).
Reflexive Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO-R)
Consequences, Reinforcers, Punishers
What are function altering effects?
The current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event is increased (evocative effect) or decreased (abative effect)
What is a behavior-altering effect?
Motivating variables that alter the effectiveness of other stimuli, objects, or events as a result of the organism’s learning history
What is a conditioned motivating operation (CMO)?
A state of satiation that decreases the value of a reinforcer.
What is a reinforcer abolishing effect?
