Discriminative Stimuli (SDs) and Motivating Operations (MOs) - E-01 **RBT

In Episode 31, I start Section E: Specific Behavior-Change Procedures. Specifically, I talk about the BACB's Fourth Edition Task List item E-01 which states to use interventions based on manipulation of antecedents, such as motivating operations and discriminative stimuli.  References: Cooper, J.
