1 Field Note 5 Tristan green Arizona State University SPE 526: Concepts and Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis Dr. Chengan Yuan CI: Nicole Nafisi 09/19/2023
2 During this week's module we discussed Antecedent conditions and covered BACB task lists B-10 and B-12. I found this week's module very dense and a little bit confusing. In turn, this made me sit down and really have to hone in on definitions and how I can apply them to my work. Task list B-10 states “Define and provide examples of stimulus control” and to follow this B-12 states “Define and provide examples of motivating operations” (BACB, task list 5th ed. 2017). In regards to B-10 and the topic of stimulus control, it is to be noted that both the frequency and the duration of the targeted behavior is altered by either the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus (Cooper et al., 2020). One example would be if a child is on a working schedule 1 minute of work and 3 minutes of play. After the child earns their break they will play for 3 minutes, once the sound of the timer goes off they come back to the table for work. To be able to maintain or create stimulus control, one must have two stimuli and differential consequences. MO’s or motivating operations, are an environmental variable that can either increase or decrease the effectiveness of the reinforcement or punishment (Cooper et al., 2020). Motivating operations can have a value-altering effect that occurs with the consequence, when this happens it either will get rid of or determine how effective the punishment or reinforcement is. The next effect that could take place would be behavior altering. What will happen is the effect will happen to the current behavior that either abates or evokes what was reinforced or punished earlier on. We also learned about two types of motivating operations, which were unconditioned “UMO” and conditioned “CMO”. Both of these can be used to determine motivating operations with a client.
