What is the function of Establishing Operations (EO) in motivating operations?
It makes a stimulus more desirable
It makes a stimulus less desirable
It signals a worsening or improving of conditions
It establishes/abolishes the effectiveness of another stimulus as a reinforcer
Which of the following is an example of an Abolishing Operation (AO) in an everyday context?
Eating a large meal and no longer seeking food
Being very thirsty and increasing the behavior to gain access to water
Seeing the clock display the time and increasing the value of food as a reinforcer
Feeling tightness in the left eye
Why is it essential to follow a hypothesized behavioral function 'upstream' in clinical problem solving?
To signal a worsening or improving of conditions
To abolish the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus
To establish the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus
To identify the corresponding MO
What is the difference between Unconditioned Motivating Operations (UMO) and Conditioned Motivating Operations (CMO)?
UMOs are environmental variables, while CMOs are not
UMOs did not require any learning to have a value altering effect, while CMOs are learned and depend on the person and their context
UMOs are motivational states that help us not die, while CMOs are not
UMOs are learned, while CMOs are not
Which of the following is an example of a Conditioned Motivating Operation Reflexive (CMO-R) in a clinical context?
A client wants to play with a light-up toy, but it is emitting a very weak light
A client sees their behavior analyst walk through the door and sit down in the free play area
A student is doing independent seat work and the teacher brings out the phonics books
A condition or object that signals a worsening or improving of conditions
What does a Conditioned Motivating Operation Transitive (CMO-T) do?
Makes a stimulus less desirable
Makes a stimulus more desirable
Establishes/abolishes the effectiveness of another stimulus as a reinforcer
Signals a worsening or improving of conditions
In an everyday context, what does the presentation of the 12:00 on the clock serve as?
An environmental variable that establishes/abolishes the effectiveness of another stimulus as a reinforcer
A type of motivating operation that makes a stimulus more desirable
A stimulus that acquired its effectiveness as an MO by being paired with another, previously established, MO
A condition or object that signals a worsening or improving of conditions
What is the function of a Surrogate (CMO-S) in motivating operations?
A stimulus that acquired its effectiveness as an MO by being paired with another, previously established, MO
Makes a stimulus more desirable
Establishes/abolishes the effectiveness of another stimulus as a reinforcer
Signals a worsening or improving of conditions
Which of the following is an example of a Conditioned Motivating Operation Surrogate (CMO-S) in a clinical context?
A consultee has a learning history involving the pairing of the presentation of aversive tasks with a particular supervisor
A supervisee is completing an assignment and cannot remember the definition of CMO-T
A client wants to play with a light-up toy, but it is emitting a very weak light
A patient engages in seeking medical treatment when no medical conditions are present
What is the function of a Conditioned Motivating Operation Reflexive (CMO-R)?
Establishes/abolishes the effectiveness of another stimulus as a reinforcer
Signals a worsening or improving of conditions
Makes a stimulus more desirable
A condition or object that signals a worsening or improving of conditions
