In recent decades, behavior analysts have generally used two different concepts to speak about motivational influences on operant contingencies: setting event and motivating operation. Although both concepts still appear in the contemporary behavior-analytic literature and were designed to address the same antecedent phenomena, the concepts are quite different. The purpose of the present article is to describe and distinguish the concepts and to illustrate their current usage.
近几十年来,行为分析师通常使用两个不同的概念来阐述对操作性条件作用的动机影响:背景事件和动机操作。尽管这两个概念仍出现在当代行为分析文献中,且旨在解决相同的先行现象,但它们有很大差异。本文的目的是描述和区分这两个概念,并说明它们目前的用法。
