A motivating operation is an event or operation that temporarily alters the effectiveness of a reinforcer or punisher\u2014a value-altering effect, and influences behavior that leads to that reinforcer or punisher\u2014a behavior-altering effect. An MAO is an event or operation that temporarily decreases the effectiveness of a reinforcer or punisher and decreases the likelihood of behaviors that normally lead to that reinforcer or increases the likelihood of behaviors that normally lead to that punisher.
