Antecedent Stimuli

As a future ABA professional, it is important that you understand how motivating operations and discriminative stimuli effect behavior. When an individual is motivated for something and it is available, behaviors are likely to occur. Motivating operations can be contrived so that reinforcement is valuable. Discrimination training can occur such that an individual understands a stimulus is available when a particular stimulus is present.

  • Explain the similarities and differences between motivation operations and discriminative stimuli.
  • Give one example of an MO and one example of an SD.
  • Based on what you have learned, describe how behavior analysts can contrive MOs to change behavior.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
