Description
When changing behavior, we are often uniquely focused on the Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence sequence. However, less emphasis is placed on understanding the role of "drive" or motivation in behavior. Understanding and utilizing the concepts of Motivating Operations (MOs) from the field of Behavior Analysis, is a needed skill for every trainer in order to have a more complete understanding of why an animal does what it does. MOs will explain why some behavior seems to “come out of nowhere” with no antecedents in sight and why reinforcers may gain or lose value in a single moment. Attendees will learn complex topics, such as understanding the difference between Establishing and Abolishing Operations, Discriminative Stimuli and MOs, and the importance of MOs in extinction, appetitive and aversive conditioning, and unconditioned and conditioned MOs. Understanding these topics will allow attendees to have a more complete understanding of human and non-human animal behavior.
