  2. Thank you again, Sharon Reeve!

  3. Review Stimulus Control Discuss the Effects of Motivating Operations Define the different types of Motivating Operations Differentiate between stimulus control and motivating operations Quiz FBA Project In future classrooms What will be do today?

  4. Stimulus Control Discriminative Stimulus (SD) A stimulus in the presence of which a response has been reinforced And in the absence of which a response has not been reinforced S-delta (SΔ) A stimulus in the presence of which a response has not been reinforced 4

  5. Motivating Operations • “An environmental variable that (a) alters (increases or decreases) the reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event, and (b) alters (increases or decreases) the current frequency of all behavior that have been reinforced by that stimulus, object or event” (Cooper, Heron & Heward, 2007, p. 699)

  6. Establishing Operation Increases the reinforcing effectiveness of a consequence Increases the current frequency of the behavior Abolishing Operation Decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a consequence Decreases the current frequency of the behavior 2 Types of MOs (Reeve) 6

  7. MO vs. SD (Reeve) How are they similar? They both precede behavior They both evoke operant behavior (but for very different reasons) How do they differ? SDs have to do with the availability of a reinforcer (has the reinforcer been delivered in the presence of that object in the past?) MOs have to do with the effectiveness of a reinforcer (Is the “reinforcer” reinforcing at that moment in time?) Great. How does this apply to me???? 7

  8. Stimulus Control: Availability of the Reinforcer (Reeve) MO: Good sleep the night before, breakfast SD: “Who can count to 10 for me?” Response: Correct Answer SR+: Yes! Well done! MO: No sleep, no money for breakfast SΔ: “Who can count to 10 for me?” Response: Incorrect Answer Extinction: Let’s try someone else. MO: Parent fight the night before SD: Teacher suggests an easier task Response: Student does the easier task SR-: Avoids a difficult task 8
