BEHP 1014: Figuring Out Why Johnny Tantrums when Asked to Do Something and what to Do about It: The Role of Motivating Operations and Discriminative Stimuli in the Assessment and Treatment of Socially-Mediated Escape/Avoidance Problem Behavior

Keywords: Establishing operation, problem behavior, treatment, socially-mediated negative reinforcement, unconditioned EO, reflexive EO

Problem behavior maintained by socially-mediated negative reinforcement is almost evoked by an establishing operation (EO) for negative reinforcement. This presentation provides flowcharts, tables, and many case studies to assist the ABA practitioner to identify these antecedent variables and incorporate them in treatment plans. Treatment implications of establishing operations are discussed.

Topics covered include:

  • Unconditioned EO(s) and reflexive conditioned EO(s) related to problem behavior
  • Discriminative stimuli that evoke problem behavior

NOTE: Mastery of the material in the first presentation on MO's listed above is highly recommended for those enrolling in this second presentation on MO's.
