SPCE 611 Exam 4Establishing Operation (EO) - correct answer ✔A motivating operation that
increases the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer.
For example, food deprivation makes food an effective reinforcer.
Motivating Operation (MO) - correct answer ✔An environmental variable that
(a) alters (increases or decreases) the reinforcing effectiveness of some
stimulus, object, or event; and (b) alters (increases or decreases) the current
frequency of all behavior that have been reinforced by that stimulus, object, or
event.
value-altering effect (of a motivating operation) - correct answer ✔either (a)
an increase in the reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event,
in which case the MO is an establishing operation (EO); or (b) a decrease in
reinforcing effectiveness in which case the MO is an abolishing operation
(AO).
Abolishing Operation (AO) - correct answer ✔A motivating operation that
decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event. For
example, the reinforcing effectiveness of food is abolished as a result of food
ingestion.
behavior-altering effect (of a motivating operation) - correct answer ✔either
(a) an increase in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced
by some stimulus, object, or event, called an evocative effect; or (b) a
decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by
some stimulus, object, or event, called an abative effect.
evocative effect (of a motivating operation) - correct answer ✔an increase in
the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus that
is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operation
,abative effect (of a motivating operation) - correct answer ✔A decrease in
the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus that
is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operation
MOs breakdown - correct answer ✔MOs=
1) value-altering effect
2) behavior-altering effect
Value-altering effects=
1) reinforcer establishing effect
2) reinforcer abolishing effect
Behavior-altering effects=
1) evocative effect
2) abative effect
MOs alter the _____ frequency of all behaviors relevant to that MO - correct
answer ✔current
function-altering effects - correct answer ✔A change in an organism's
repertoire of MO, stimulus, and response relations, caused by reinforcement,
punishment, an extinction procedure, or a recovery from punishment
procedure. Respondent function-altering effects result from the pairing and
unpairing of antecedent stimuli.
MOs vs. SDs - correct answer ✔Similarities:
(a) both alter the current frequency of behavior, acting as behavior-altering
effects
, Differences:
(a) SDs are related to the differential *availability* of a current effective form of
reinforcement for a particular behavior
(b) MOs are related to the differential reinforcing *effectiveness* of a particular
event
Simple terms=
(a) SD tells you something you want is available
(b) MO makes you want something
unconditioned motivating operations (UMOs) - correct answer ✔A motivating
operation whose value-altering effect does not depend on a learning history.
- ex = food deprivation increasing reinforcing effectiveness of food without any
learning history
Reinforcer-establishing/evocative effects - correct answer ✔An increase in
the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event caused by a
motivating operation.
reinforcer-abolishing/abative effects - correct answer ✔a decrease in the
reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event caused by a motivating
operation.
conditioned motivating operation (CMO) - correct answer ✔A motivating
operation whose value-altering effect depends on a learning history.
