Unit 6 Test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Available vs. Value | How likely will the conse follow a spec response? Sd or SDelta Avail: conseq. will follow or didn't follow bx. Value: est. - if conseq follows it will be effective. abol. - if conseq follows it won't be effective |
| CMOs - 3 General Types | reflexive (CMO-R), transitive (CMO-T), surrogate (CMO-S) |
| Effects of CEOsr & CAOsr for positive or negative reinforcement | CEOsr - reinf-est and evocative / CAOsr reinf-abol and abative |
| Types of CMOs | CEOsr, CAOsr, then subdivided into positive and negative |
| CMOs | motivating operations that alter the effectiveness of reinf but only as a result of the organisms history. reinf-est. and reinf.-abol. learned evocative and abative effects |
| painful stimulation for UEO for positive reinforcement | it evokes aggression toward others and est evidence of harm to others as a reinforc. - "signs of damage" |
| painful stimulation | the onset establishes the reduction or offset of this stimulation as an effective form of reinf and evokes bx that achieves reduction or offset (related to neg. reinf) |
| other UEOs similar to H2O deprivation | salt indegestion, perspiration, bloodloss |
| 5 satiation UAOs | abolishing effect: decrease effectiveness of X as a reinf / abative: decrease the current freq of all bx that has been reinf by X |
| 5 deprivation UEOs | reinforcer est effect: increases effectiveness as a reinf/ evocative: increases the current freq of all bx that has been reinf (food, water, sleep, oxygen, activity) |
| 2 basic UMOs | deprivation (UEO) and satiation (UAO) |
| abolishing operation | a motivating operationg that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event. decr effectiveness of conseq. |
| 9 main human UMOs | 1-5 deprivation and satiation; 6-7 being too cold or too warm; 8 sex; 9 UMO consisting of onset or magnif of painful stimulation |
| basic 4 term operant contingencies | Sd-R1-Sr+or r- ---MO: reinf / Sdp-R1-Sp+ or p-:punishment; MO has effects on behavior and consequences |
| abative effect | a decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforces by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operation |
| value-altering effect | an alteration in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event as a result of a motivating operation. MOs either incr or decr the value of a reinf or punish |
| evocative effect | 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 |
| abolishing effect | MOs that decrease effectiveness of a consequence |
| 2 value-altering effects of MOs | 1. establishing effect - incr the effectiveness of a specific reinf or punish. 2. an abolishing effect - decr the effectiveness of a specific reinf or punish |
| additional effects of motivating operations | alter effectiveness of Sd, incr or decr the evo or abat effects of various types of Sd; widen or narrow the stim gen gradient |
| history of terms EO and MO | -Skinner described effects of EO and MO; Kellen and Schoenfeld introduced EO. Michael est. EO and elaborated on EO and intro. MO |
| two types of MO | establishing operations and abolishing operations |
| establishing operation | a motivating operation that established the effectiveness of some stimulus, object or event as a reinforcer. incr effectiveness of conseq. |
| two types of behavior-altering effects | evokes or abates: alters momentary frequency of bx |
| motivating operation | an antecedent condition, operation, or stimulus that alters the effectiveness of a consequence and has a momentary effect on a dimension of behavior |
| two effects of MOs | value-altering and behavior-altering effects |
| behavior-altering effect | an alteration in the current (momentary) freq of bx that has been reinforced by the stim that is altered in effectiveness by the same motivating operation |
| EOsr | MOs which incr the value of other events as forms of reinf. they evoke the type of bx which has reinf by past events (reinf-est. and evocative) |
| AOsr | MOs which decr the value of other events as forms of reinf. they abate the type of bx which has been reinf in the past. (reinf-abol and abative) |
| two variable of MOs | provenance of value-altering (phylo or onto); type of consequence whose value is altered |
| MOs have last names | MOsr- Mo related to reinf; MOsp-MO related to punish; EOsr - EO related to reinf; EOsp - EO related to punish, etc. |
| 4 general types of MOs and their effects | Est. (incr value)/evocative - EO related to rein (EOsr)...Est (incr value)/abative - EO related to punish (EOsp)...Abol (decr value)/evocative - AO related to punish (AOsp) Abol (decr value)/abat - AO related to reinf (AOsr) |
| UMOs | events, operations and stimulus conditions whose reinforce-establish effects are unlearned but the bx evoked by the MO is learned |
| predicting bx | avail (Sd)/valuable (EOsr+) = most likely / not avail (SDelta)/not valuable (AOsr+) = least likely |
| value | if the consequence occurs now, how likely is it to be effective as reinf or punish for that bx? |
