Motivating operations and terms to describe them: some further refinements
TL;DR: How the current conceptualization of the EO is in need of revision is described, alternative terms, including the generic term motivating operation (MO), are suggested, and examples of MOs and their behavioral effects are provided using articles from the applied behavior analysis literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Descriptive Analysis and Critique of the Empirical Literature on School-Based Functional Assessment.
Ruth A. Ervin,Pamela M. Radford,Kathy Bertsch,Andrew L. Piper,Kristal E. Ehrhardt,Alan Poling +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a wide range of information for 100 articles published from January 1980 through July 1999 that describe the functional assessment (FA) of behavior in school settings was provided, and the results of the FA were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Making life easier with effort: Basic findings and applied research on response effort.
Patrick C. Friman,Alan Poling +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that renewed interest in response effort as an independent variable is justified because of its potent effects and because the political constraints imposed on punishment- and reinforcement-based procedures have yet to be imposed on procedures that entail manipulations of response effort.
Journal ArticleDOI
The differential outcomes effect
TL;DR: The differential outcomes effect refers specifically to the increase in speed of acquisition or terminal accuracy that occurs in discrimination training when each of two or more discriminative stimuli is correlated with a particular outcome (e.g., type of reinforcer) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Steven J. Braam,Alan Poling +1 more
TL;DR: The present studies examine the use of transfer of stimulus control procedures for developing one type of intraverbal responding (classification of verbal responses) in mentally retarded participants who employed manual signs as their primary mode of verbal communication.
