Motivating Operations
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Abative effect | A decrease in the current frequency of behavior reinforced by a stimulus |
| Abolishing operation (AO) | Temporarily decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus and decreases the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by a stimulus |
| Behavior altering effect | Alters the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by a stimulus |
| Conditioned motivating operation (CMO) | A motivating operation whose value-altering effects depend on a learning history |
| Establishing effect (EO) | Temporarily increases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus and decreases the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by a stimulus |
| Evocative effect | An increase in the current frequency of behavior reinforced by a stimulus |
| Function-altering effect | the change in future frequency of a behavior due to past interaction A change in an organism’s repertoire of MO, stimulus, and response relations, caused by reinforcement, punishment, an extinction procedure, or recovery from a punishment procedure. |
| Motivation operation (MO) | An environmental variable that (a) alters the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of a stimulus, object or event; and (b) alters the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced or punished by that stimulus, object, or event |
| Reflexive conditioned motivating operation (CMO-R) | A stimulus that acquires motivating properties by preceding some form of worsening or improvement |
| Reinforcer-abolishing effect | A decrease in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event caused by a motivating operation |
| Reinforcer-establishing effect | An increase in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event caused by a motivating operation |
| Surrogate conditioned motivating operation (CMO-S) | A stimulus paired with another motivating operation that has the same value- and behavior-altering effects as that motivating operation |
| Transitive conditioned motivating operation (CMO-T) | A stimulus in the context of which the value of another stimulus is altered as well as behaviors that have been reinforced by that other stimulus An environmental change that makes something else valuable as a reinforcer. |
| Unconditioned motivating operation (UMO) | A motivating operation whose value altering effect does not depend on a learning |
| Value-altering effect | Alters the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer |
