Document Summary
Final is going to be same as the midterm it is going to have 80-100 questions. Motivational opearation either increase or decrease behaviour, it alters effect of a consequence either punishment or reinforcement. They can be broken down into two categories. Can either be estrablishing operation (increases the effectiveness of consequencewhilee abolishing operation (decreases the effectiveness of consequence) These things can change the value of the effect of the behaviour effect. When we talk about behaviour effect it can either be evocative effect( behaviour occurs more) or the abative effect (thebehaviour decrecreases) In establishing operation the punishement usually becomes more punishing so then the behaviour goes down, this is an abative effect. We can also take it through abolishing operation, where it makesthe reinforce less effect and then the behaviour goes down, therefore it is also a abative effect. If your punisher is not very effective then the behaviour goes up.
