Establishing operation (EO)
Abolishing operation (AO)
Conditioned motivating operation (CMO)
Unconditioned motivating operation (UMO)
#12
Which of the following is NOT an example of a conditioned motivating operation (CMO)?

#13
Which statement best describes the function of a motivating operation (MO)?
It establishes a stimulus as a reinforcer
It alters the value of a reinforcer or punisher
It directly reinforces behavior
It has no effect on behavior
#14
What distinguishes an establishing operation (EO) from an abolishing operation (AO)?
EO increases the effectiveness of a reinforcer; AO decreases the effectiveness of a reinforcer
EO decreases the effectiveness of a reinforcer; AO increases the effectiveness of a reinforcer
EO increases the likelihood of behavior; AO decreases the likelihood of behavior
EO decreases the likelihood of behavior; AO increases the likelihood of behavior
#15
What is the primary function of a conditioned motivating operation (CMO)?
To establish a conditioned reinforcer
To alter the effectiveness of a reinforcer or punisher
To directly reinforce behavior
To decrease the likelihood of behavior
#16
What is the primary distinction between unconditioned motivating operations (UMOs) and conditioned motivating operations (CMOs)?
UMOs involve physiological deprivation or satiation; CMOs involve learned associations
UMOs are only relevant in classical conditioning; CMOs are only relevant in operant conditioning
UMOs occur naturally; CMOs require training or conditioning
UMOs are temporary; CMOs are permanent

Establishing operation (EO)
Abolishing operation (AO)
Unconditioned motivating operation (UMO)
Conditioned motivating operation (CMO)
