Motivating operations- it makes a consequence more effective, or increase the likelihood of that behaviour, it changes your environment or mood to make the behaviour stimulus stronger. They often work together and you see them happening at the same time. A cue that sets the occasion for a particular behaviour and consequence. Other stimuli serve as an antecedent for not doing a behaviour (sdelta) Discriminative means it leads you to a particular behaviour and not any other behaviour.
