MO |
An environmental variable that a) alters the reinforcing orpunishing effectiveness of some stimulus, object or event; and b)alters the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforcedor punished by that stimulus, object, or event. |
|
|
Value-altering Effect |
An alteration in the reinforcingeffectiveness of a stimulus, object, or eventas a result of a motivating operation. |
|
|
Behavior-altering Effect |
An alteration in the current frequency of behaviorthat has been reinforced by the stimulus that isaltered in effectiveness by the same motivatingoperation. |
|
|
Evocative Effect |
An increase in the current frequency of behavior thathas been reinforced by the stimulus that is increasedin reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivationoperation. |
|
|
Abative Effect |
A decrease in the current frequency of behavior thathas been reinforced by the stimulus that is increasedin reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivatingoperation. |
|
|
UMO |
A motivating operation whose value alteringeffect does not depend on alearning history |
|
|
CMO |
A motivating operation whose value alteringeffect depends on a learninghistory. |
|
|
CMO-S (Surrogate) |
A stimulus that acquires its MO effectiveness by beingpaired with another MO and has the same valuealteringand behavior-altering effects as the MO withwhich it was paired. |
|
|
CMO-R (Reflexive) |
A stimulus that acquires MO effectiveness by preceding some formof worsening or improvement. It is exemplified by the warningstimulus in a typical escape-avoidance procedure, whichestablishes its own offset as reinforcement and evokes all behaviorthat has accomplished that offset. |
|
|
CMO-T (Transitive) |
An environmental variable that, as a result of a learninghistory, establishes or abolishes the reinforcingeffectiveness of another stimulus and evokes or abates thebehavior that has been reinforced by that other stimulus. |
|
|
Function-altering Effect |
A relatively permanent change in an organism'srepertoire of MO, stimulus, and response relations,caused by reinforcement, punishment, an extinction,procedure, or a recovery from punishment procedure. |
