Unit 5 SAFMEDS

Question 1

CMO

Answer 1

Conditioned Motivating Operations

When an item or an event has been trained to have a reinforcing value due to previously learning the association.

Question 2

CMO-S

Answer 2

Surrogate (paired)
A stimulus that was previously neutral is paired with another motivating operation and now that stimulus itself creates a new MO for the person.
You have to go pee so you find a restroom sign & then go pee.
Now you see a restroom sign and it evokes the behavior of having to urinate even if you don’t have to in that moment.

Question 3

CMO-T

Answer 3

Transitive (tricky)
Something in the environment establishes something else as a reinforcer or punisher. You may be trying to open a bottle of wine (deprived of wine) and in that moment you really need a wine key to open the wine. Being deprived of wine in that moment and the bottle of wine that cannot be opened easily is a CMO-T that establishes the value of opening the wine with a wine key and evokes behaviors to find the wine key or ask someone for help.

Question 4

CMO-R

Answer 4

Reflexive (aversive)
A stimulus that comes before some kind of painful stimulation or aversive event. Something in the environment that signals to you things are about to get worse so you better engage in those behaviors you have in the past that prevent that aversive situation to happen.

Question 5

UMO

Answer 5

Unconditioned Motivating Operations (Primary)
A motivating operation that does not depend on a learning history. For example deprivation of food, water, oxygen, activity, sex, and sleep will increase the value of any of these.
