Document Summary
No t e b o o k: behavior mod. Antecedent control procedures: a procedure in which antecedents are manipulated to evoke the target behavior so it can be reinforced. Some ways to make it more likely that a response will occur include: Present the discriminative stimulus or arrange cues for the desirable behavior. Can be sped up by using shortcut methods like prompting. Arrange an establishing operation which will make the outcome of the behavior more reinforcing so that the behavior is more likely to occur. Manipulate antecedent conditions that decrease the response effort so that desirable behavior is more likely to occur. Nudge theory: manipulating behavior by changing the ease of performing it. Some ways to make a behavior less likely to occur include: Remove the discriminative stimulus or cues for the undesirable behaviors. Increase the response effort for the undesirable behaviors.
