The manipulation of antecedent stimuli to increase the probability of desirable behavior and decrease the probability of competing behavior is referred to as:​

Which of the following is NOT a functional approach to decrease problem behaviors?​

Presenting the discriminative stimulus and cues for a behavior make the behavior ____________ likely to occur,and removing the discriminative stimulus and cues for the behavior make the behavior ____________ likely to occur.

After choosing appropriate antecedent control procedures,you then ___________ the antecedents that are most likely to influence the behavior.

Antecedent control procedures are used along with ___________ so that desired behaviors are more likely to occur and competing behaviors are less likely to occur.​

Analyzing antecedent situations related to the desired and competing behaviors involves identifying:​

Antecedent control procedures are used when:​

Presenting an S^D for a behavior makes a behavior more likely to occur.​

It is not necessary to conduct a functional assessment when considering antecedent strategies.

List 6 categories of antecedent manipulations that are used to both increase desirable behaviors and decrease problem behaviors.

Extinction and differential reinforcement are used in conjunction with antecedent control procedures.

A student engages in disruptive behavior in the classroom in order to get attention from the teacher.In order to decrease the disruptive behavior,the teacher gives the student frequent attention so that receiving attention by engaging in disruptive behavior is less reinforcing.Which antecedent control strategy is the teacher using to decrease the student's disruptive behavior?​

Presenting the S^D,decreasing response effort,and presenting an establishing operation are ways to:​

Antecedent control procedures involve the manipulation of:​

Zach likes to sit in the back of the classroom so he can talk to his friend Elizabeth while the teacher is instructing.The teacher finds this behavior very disruptive.What would you do to eliminate the cues for Zach's talking behavior?
