Document Summary
Understanding antecedent interventions: research has classified all antecedent-based behavior change under an umbrella of single terms. E. g. , antecedent procedures, antecedent control, antecedent manipulations, antecedent intervention. To make it less likely that undesirable behaviors will occur: how. By changing some aspect of the physical or social environment. Sd"s evoke behavior due to past correlation with increased availability of reinforcement, etc. Sdp"s-prevent behavior because of past pairing with punishing stimuli: mo"s increase current frequency of behavior when an effective reinforcer is not available, all have different implications for how behavior change strategies should be implemented and manipulated. Contingency dependent: antecedent event that is dependent on the consequences of behavior, referred to as antecedent control, made up of antecedents that have stimulus control (i. e. sd"s) Contingency independent: antecedent event that is not dependent on the consequences of behavior for developing evocative and abative effects. Called antecedent intervention: antecedent itself affects behavior-consequence relations, mo"s are contingency independent.
