1. abative effect A decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced
by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing ettectiveness by the
same motivating operation
2. Abolishing opera- A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing ettectiveness of a
stimulus,
tion object, or event.
3. behavior- An alteration in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by
alter- ing the stimulus that is altered in ettectiveness by the same motivating
effect operation.
4. conditioned A motivating operation whose value-altering ettect depends on a learning
mo- tivating history.

A relatively permanent An environmental variable that alters the reinforcing or punishing
change in an organism's ettectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event; and alters the current
repertoire of MO, stimulus, frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced or punished by that
and re- sponse relations, stimulus, object, or event
caused by reinforcement,
punishment, an extinction The occurrence of a previously punished type of response without its
procedure, or a recovery punishing consequence. This procedure is analogous to the extinction
from punishment of previously rein- forced behavior and has the ettect of undoing the
procedure. ettect of the punishment.
