Discuss the differences between establishing and abolishing operations and explain why you might manipulate these Motivating Operations as part of planned behavior change

For this assignment, you will provide a long answer essay response to each of the questions below.
For each question, you are encouraged to use the peer-reviewed resources provided throughout the
units to support your responses. Please do not copy and paste the whole question into the document.
Rather, provide the question number (1-4) and a brief heading that correlates with each section of the
grading rubric.
(Ex. 1. Motivating Operations and Differential Reinforcement)
1. Discuss the differences between establishing and abolishing operations and explain why you might
manipulate these Motivating Operations as part of planned behavior change. Next, explain each type
of Differential Reinforcement (DRO/DRI/DRA/DRL), and provide a basic example of how two DR
procedures can be used to promote changes in behavior. Finally, discuss how other procedures might
be incorporated to support a differential reinforcement approach as part of a behavior reduction
component to the plan.
2. First, define stimulus and stimulus class and provide an example that demonstrates your
understanding of the concept. Next, define the concept of stimulus control and how stimulus control is
established, differentiating between generalization and discrimination of stimuli. Finally, review
Jasmine’s Case Example (transcript attached below) to examine how you would use response and
stimulus prompt fading to transfer stimulus control to a more relevant stimulus, including the
application of differential reinforcement, as part of a maintenance plan for a target behavior.
3. First, discuss the basic concept of Verbal Behavior as an operant paradigm. Next, discuss each of
the elementary verbal operants, categorizing them according to their properties of point-to-point
correspondence, formal similarity, and appropriate reinforcement according to each operant’s specific
function. Finally, provide a unique example of each verbal operant to demonstrate your understanding
of how each is applied to the development of language.
4. Discuss the concept of Derived Stimulus Relations as it applies to the development of language and
cognition. Explain the similarities and differences of how derived stimulus relations and verbal
behavior contribute to the development of an individual’s language and cognition. Finally, identify the
three parts of stimulus equivalence, and explain how each part applies to the development of derived
stimulus relations in language.
