chapter 16: antecedent control proceudres

Question 1

antecedent control procedures

Answer 1

• a procedure in which antecedents are manipulated to influence the TB
• may involve manipulating a SD or cues, establishing operations, or response effort for the target bheaviour or alternative behaviours

Question 2

functional interventions

Answer 2

• interventions (extinction, differential reinforcement, and antecedent control) that decrease problem behaviours without the use of punishment’s by modifying the antecedents and consequences that control the behaviours
• does not rely on the use of punsihemnt
• • shoudl always be the first treatment utilized in treating/ decreasing behaviour

Question 3

presenting SD or cues for the Desired behaviour

Answer 3

• one reason desirable behaviour may not occur often is because SD for the behaviour are not present in the persons environment
• by presenting SD or cues, you set up the right condition for the behaviour to occur

Question 4

arrange EO for desirable behaviour

Answer 4

• an EO is an environmental event or biological condition that increases the value of a stimulus as a reinforcer
• *behaviour is more likely to occur

Question 5

decreasing response effort for the desirable behaviour

Answer 5

• behaviour that requires less effort are more likely to occur than other behaviours that require more effort, if both result in fairly equal reinforcers.

Question 6

antecedent manipulation that evokes a deired response

Answer 6

• present SD or cues
• arrange EO
• decrease response effort

Question 7

antecedent maipulation that makes undesirable competing response less likely

Answer 7

• removing SD or cues for competing behaviours
• presenting AO for the outcome for competing behaviours
• increasing response effort for the competing behaivours (if competing behaviour require MORE effort you will prolly not do it lol)

Question 8

nudge theory

Answer 8

• behaviour maintained by changing the ease or difficulty of performing it

Question 9

noncontingent reinforcement (NCR)

Answer 9

• a form of antecedent intervention in which stimuli that are known reinforcers are delivered on a schedule independent of behaviour- not dependent on responses
