Establishing Operations (EO) - correct answer ✔✔A motivating operation that increases the effectiveness
of some stimulus, object or event as a reinforcer.

motivating operation.
For example, food deprivation evokes (increases the frequency of) behavior such as opening the fridge
that has been reinforced by food.
