What's included?

Learn the MO definition and its value- and behavior-altering effects. Distinguish EO vs AO and SD vs EO with applied examples. Review unconditioned MOs including the nine human UMOs and extend to CMO-S, CMO-R, and CMO-T. Practice capturing and contriving MOs within FCT to contact reinforcement reliably. Design MO-informed functional analysis conditions with safety and ethics built in. Ideal for RBTs and BCBAs who want precise MO analysis that improves assessment and treatment.

Learning Objectives

Define motivating operation (MO) and its two effects (value-altering, behavior-altering).
Discriminate EO vs AO and their impact on evocative/abative effects
Differentiate Sd from EO with mixed examples
Identify and apply the nine human UMOs: food, water, sleep, activity, oxygen, sex, pain increase, temperature decrease, temperature increase.
Classify and use CMOs: CMO-S, CMO-R, CMO-T.
Capture and contrive MOs during FCT design and session flow.
Integrate MO hypotheses into functional analysis manipulations and treatment
