Unconditioned motivating operation (UMO)
events, operations and stimulus with value altering effects that are unlearned
, 9 examples of UMO
deprivation of:
-food
-water
-sex
-sleep
-oxygen
-activity
being too warm
being too cold
increase in pain
UMO for punishment
alters the punishing effectiveness and alters frequency of behavior that does not
depend on learner history
conditioned motivating operation (CMO)
motivating variables that alter the reinforcers effectiveness due to learner history
surrogate CMO (CMO-S)
takes the place of a different MO (ex. water fountain takes the place of UMO of water
deprivation)
reflexive CMO (CMO-R)
makes its own removal effective as reinforcement (trying to avoid aversive event) ex:
student being asked to do something and does it to remove the demand
transitive CMO (CMO-T)
