Week 5

Question 1

Question 2

When there is a time delay between the response and the SR+

Answer 2

Rule governed behavior

Question 3

Contingency shaped behaviors

Answer 3

When a behavior immediately has a consequence following the behavior

Question 4

When a behavior immediately has a consequence following the behavior

Answer 4

Contingency shaped behavior

Question 5

What are the two effects of MOs

Answer 5

Value altering

• Eo
• AO

Behavior altering

• evocative
• abative

Question 6

Value Altering

Answer 6

1. EO: An increase in the reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event
2. AO: Decrease in reinforcing effectiveness

Question 7

Behavior altering

Answer 7

1. An increase in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event, called an evocative effect
2. A decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event, called an abative effect

Question 8

Value- and Behavior- Altering effects of an MO occur ___________ but are considered ___________ in the sense that one does not derive from the other

Answer 8

Simultaneously, independent

Question 9

Effectiveness of MOs _______ _____ depend on the person being able to describe the effects of MOs on their behavior

Answer 9

Does not

Question 10

In the absence of the MO that establishes the value of the consequence as a reinforcer:

Answer 10

1. Discrimination learning is unlikely to occur

2. A previously effective SD would also not evoke behavior

Question 11

Antecedents can _______ or ________ responses, but their occurrence does not alter the organism’s functional behavioral repertoire

Answer 11

Evoke, abate

Question 12

As antecedent variables, MOs alter the current ___________ of all behaviors relevant to that MO

Answer 12

Frequency

Question 13

Reducing or eliminating the MO for a specific problem behavior is a _________ rather than permanent solution

Answer 13

Temporary

Question 14

Consequences have ______________ effects

Answer 14

Function-altering

Question 15

Consequences effects:

Answer 15

Reinforcers
Punishers
The occurrence of a response without its reinforcer (extinction procedure), or without its punisher (recovery from punishment procedure)

Question 16

Distinguishing SD

Answer 16

Affects behavior because it’s presence has been correlated with the differential availability of an effective reinforcer in the past

Question 17

SD affects behavior because it’s presence has been _________ with the ____________ ___________ of an effective reinforcer in the past

Answer 17

Correlated, differential availability

Question 18

Differential availability =

Answer 18

relevant consequence has been…

Available in the presence of the SD (i.e., reinforcement) and

Unavailable in its absence (i.e., extinction)

Question 19

Distinguishing MO

Answer 19

Controls behavior because of its relation to the differential effectiveness of a reinforcer for that behavior

Question 20

MOs controls behavior because of its _________ to the __________ __________ of a reinforcer for that behavior

Answer 20

Relation, differential effectiveness

Question 21

Differential effectiveness =

Answer 21

relevant consequence has been…

Effective in the presence of, and
ineffective in the absence of, the MO

Question 22

Unconditioned Motivating Operations (UMOs)

Answer 22

For all organisms there are events, operations, and stimulus conditions with unconditioned value-altering effects

Question 23

For all organisms there are events, operations, and stimulus conditions with unconditioned value-altering effects

Answer 23

Unconditioned Motivating Operations (UMOs)

Question 24

2 Types of UMOs

Answer 24

Food reinforcement from food deprivation and

Pain reduction reinforcement as a result of pain onset or increase

Question 25

An EO related to punishment would have a ____________ ________ effect and an _________ ________.

Answer 25

punisher-establishing, abative effect

Question 26

An AO related to punishment would have a________ _________ effect and an _________ _________.

Answer 26

punisher-abolishing, evocative effect

Question 27

Most punishers that affect humans are effective because of learning ________

Answer 27

History (conditioned rather than unconditioned punishers) e.g. time-out will only be effective when “time-in” serves as a reinforcer when the behavior is being punished

Question 28

Unless the events removed contingent upon behavior are effective as___________ at the time the procedure is implemented, response cost will_____ serve as an effective punishment procedure

Answer 28

reinforcers, not

Question 29

Events that have a UMO evocative effect, such as painful stimulation, will also function as ___________ for the response immediately ____________ the onset of the event

Answer 29

punishment, preceding

Question 30

Events that have MO abolishing effects as antecedents may have ________ effects when presented as __________ for behavior

Answer 30

reinforcing, consequences

Question 31

3 types of Conditioned Motivating Operations (CMOs)

Answer 31

surrogate, reflexive, transitive
