Abstract：
The motivating operations concept has been of considerable interest and practical value to behavior analysts, including practitioners. Nonetheless, the concept has generated substantial controversy and has significant limitations. To address some of these limitations, we suggest that it would be wise to redefine motivating operations, to deemphasize the importance that has historically been placed on subtypes of conditioned motivating operations, to emphasize how motivating operations and discriminative stimuli interact, and to further examine the kinds of environmental changes that alter the reinforcing value of particular kinds of stimuli. These suggestions are detailed elsewhere and summarized in this article.
摘要：
激励操作概念对行为分析师具有相当大的兴趣和实用价值，包括从业者。尽管如此，这个概念引起了很大的争议，并且有很大的局限性。为了解决其中一些限制，我们建议重新定义激励行动是明智的，为了不强调历史上对条件性激励操作子类型的重要性，为了强调激励操作和辨别刺激是如何相互作用的，并进一步检查改变特定类型刺激的增强价值的环境变化。这些建议在其他地方进行了详细介绍，并在本文中进行了总结。
