Back 4

Indirect-acting effect (reinforcer)

Front 5

Events or operations that temporarily decrease the effectiveness of consequences as reinforcers or punishers, and decrease the likelihood of behaviours that normally lead to those reinforcers or increase the likelihood of behaviours that normally lead to those punishers.

Back 5

Motivating abolishing operation

Front 6

Events or operations that temporarily increase the effectiveness of consequences as reinforcers or punishers, and increase the likelihood of behaviours that lead to those reinforcers or decrease the likelihood of behaviours that lead to those punishers.

Back 6

Motivating establishing operation

Front 7

Events or operations that (a) temporarily alter the effectiveness of consequences as reinforcers or punishers (a value-altering effect) (b) influence behaviours that normally lead to those reinforcers or punishers (a behaviour-altering effect).

Back 7

Motivating operations (MOs)

Front 8

Setting in which an individual carries out normal, everyday functions outside of a situation explicitly designed for training.

Back 8

Front 9

Back 9

Natural reinforcers

Front 10

Behaviour that is influenced by its consequences.

Back 10

Operant behaviours

Front 11

Presentation of a positive reinforce immediately following a response with the effect that the response is strengthened or increased in frequency.

Back 11

Positive reinforcer

Front 12

A stimulus the presentation of which immediately after a response causes the response to be strengthened or increased in frequency.

Back 12

Positive reinforcement

Front 13

Total ineffectiveness of a specific reinforce immediately following unrestricted access to it.

Back 13

Satiation

Front 14

Behaviour that is strengthened and maintained by adventitious reinforcement.
