When the response produces the consequence and then consequence does not occur unless the response occurs first, we say that a contingency exists between the response and the consequence. when a contingency existis, the condequence is more likely to reinforce the response: motivating operations: events that make a particular consequence more or less reinforcing at some times than other times. establishing operation: makes a reinforcer more potent (establishes the effectiveness of a reinforcer) y ex: deprivation.
