“…CMO-Ts also may be an important consideration when teaching adaptive behavior, such as mands (Endicott & Higbee, 2007;Hall & Sundberg, 1987;Sundberg, Loeb, Hale, & Eigenheer, 2002) or bids for joint attention (Taylor & Hoch, 2008). Sundberg et al (2002), for example, contrived CEO-Ts in order to teach mands for information in children with autism.…”

Motivating operations (MOs) exert a powerful influence over operant relations and hold significant implications for those working in applied settings. In this paper, we describe the concept of the MO and provide "real world" examples. Particular emphasis is given to the concept of the conditioned MO (CMO). Implications for intervention are discussed. It is hoped that this endeavour will encourage the utilization of the full conceptual system of the MO.

“…Sundberg et al (2002), for example, contrived CEO-Ts in order to teach mands for information in children with autism. The experimenters gave two children with autism access to a container that contained a preferred item with which they could play (i.e., the container functioned as a discriminative stimulus for playing with toys).…”

“…Many children with developmental disabilities fail to develop a question-asking repertoire (Sundberg, Loeb, Hale, & Eigenheer, 2002). To overcome this deficit Sundberg et al contrived the CEO-T to condition information as a reinforcer and then provided information contingent on mands related to the relevant EO.…”

Twenty years ago Michael (1993) refined and extended the concept of the conditioned establishing operation (CEO). With this paper he updated his previous treatment of the topic (Michael, 1982) by providing terminological refinements and conceptually clear descriptions of the reflexive and transitive CEOs. In the 20 years since the publication of that paper there has been an increase in the application of CEOs as independent variables in the teaching of verbal behavior in applied setting. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of clinical applications of the EO to the teaching of verbal behavior during the last 20 years.

“…Sundberg and Michael (2001) point out that one can either capture an EO or contrive the EO when training a mand. Sundberg et al (2002) provide an excellent example of contriving an EO during mand training. In Experiment 1, two children were taught "where?"…”

“…Training mands could not only lead to an improved quality of life by providing individuals with dementia the ability to access desired items and activities, attention, social interaction, and escape from aversive stimulation, but may also reduce aggression and other challenging behavior maintained by access to those stimuli, which might have developed due to diminished verbal repertoires. When training the mand, it is important to consider the EO (Michael 1988;Sundberg et al 2002). Contriving the EO rather than capturing the EO is a better option for training mands in a controlled setting, as it allows for more teaching opportunities (Sundberg and Michael 2001).…”

Millions of Americans are diagnosed with dementia, and that number is only expected to rise. The diagnosis of dementia comes with impairments, especially in language. Furthermore, dementia-related functional declines appear to be moderated by environ- 2010), and the mand is a verbal operant about which little is known among this population. The current study evaluated whether contriving an establishing operation within a preferred activity using a prompt-probe intermix procedure and a transfer of stimulus control procedure was effective in establishing mands in older adults with dementia. The procedure was demonstrated to be effective with one participant, but results were inconsistent with the second participant. Modifications were made throughout training for both participants, showing the importance of individualizing interventions.
