Document Summary
In antecedent control procedures, antecedent stimuli are manipulated evoke desirable behaviors, so that they can be differentially reinforced, and to decrease undesirable behaviors that interfere with the desirable behaviors. Example of antecedent control: getting cal to eat right: the steps you believe cal could take to make it more likely that he would eat healthful foods, 1. He got rid of all the unhealthful foods he had in his apartment and at work: 2. He went shopping only on a full stomach, so that he wasn"t tempted to buy quick-to- eat but unhealthful foods: 3. He made a list of healthful foods to buy before shopping and never bought anything that was not on the list: 4. He packed a healthful lunch each day and brought it to work with him so that he wouldn"t eat fast food or unhealthful snacks at lunchtime: 5.
