Cooper Chapter 16

Motivating Operations

QuestionAnswer
Abative Effect A decrease in the current frequency of a behaviour that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same MO (i.e. food ingestion decreases frequency of behaviour that has been reinforced by food)
Abolishing Operation (AO) Decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event, (i.e. reinforcing effectiveness of food is abolished as a result of food ingestion)
Behaviour Alternating Effect Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO) An alteration in the current frequency of behaviour that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is altered in effectiveness by the same MO (i.e. frequency of behaviour that has been R+ with food increases/ decreases by food deprivation/satiation)
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) * A stimulus in the presence of which responses of some type have been reinforced and in the absence of which the same type of responses have been not been reinforced
Establishing Operation (EO) * A motivation operation that establishes (increases) the effectiveness of a stimulus, object, event as a reinforcer
Evocative Effect An increase in the current frequency of behaviour that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same MO (i.e. food deprivation = increases frequency of behaviour R+ by food)
Function-Alternating Effect Relatively permanent change in an organisms repertoire of MO, stimulus, response relations, caused by reinforcement, punishment, extinction, or recovery from punishment procedure
Motivating Operation (MO) * An environmental variable that: 1) alters (increases/decreases) the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, event 2) alters (increases/decreases) frequency of all behaviour that has been R or P by that stimulus, object, event
Recovery from Punishment Procedure Reflective Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO- R) Occurrence of a previously punished type of response without its punishing consequence; undoing the effect of punishment procedure
Repertoire- Altering Effect Contrasted with behaviour-altering effect
Reinforcer-Abolishing Effect A DECREASE in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event caused by a MO; i.e food ingestion decreases reinforcing effectiveness of food
Reinforcer- Establishing Effect An INCREASE in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event that has been caused by a MO; i.e. food deprivation = increases reinforcing effectiveness of food
Surrogate Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO-S) A stimulus that acquires its MO effectiveness by being paired with another MO and has the same value-altering + behavior-altering effects as the MO with which it was paired
Transitive Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO- T) An environmental variable that, as a result of learning history, establishes (or abolishes) reinforcing effectiveness of another stimulus + evokes (or abates) behaviour that has been R by that other stimulus
Unconditioned Motivating Operation (UMO) A MO whose value-altering effect does NOT depend on a learning history; i.e. food deprivation increases reinforcing effectiveness of food w/out learning history
Unpairing (2 kinds) 1. Occurrence alone of a stimulus that has acquired its function by being paired with an already effective stimulus, 2)occurrence of the stimulus in the absence + presence of the effective stimulus
Value-Altering Effect

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
