Unit 3 Flashcards
Manipulation of environmental events prior to the occurrence of target bx
Antecedent interventions
Generic and function-based
2 categories of antecedent interventions
Used to manipulate part of the contingency maintaining target bx
Function-based antecedent interventions
MO effects
Discriminative effects
Contingency-breaking effects
Restrict ability to engage in bx
4 underlying mechanisms of antecedent interventions
Alter consequence effectiveness to evoke or abate bx
MO effects
Alter discriminative control over bx
Discriminative effects
Break/weaken the contingent relation between problem bx &reinforcer
Contingency-breaking effects
Make it difficult or impossible to engage in problem bx
Restrict ability to engage in bx
Antecedent effect on bx
Momentary effect
Only use as a treatment plan component Combine with reinforcement proceduresInclude EXT/punishment if needed
3 considerations of antecedent interventions
Use of structural terms
Use of non-conceptually systematic terms
Failure to identify underlying mechanisms
Failure to use generalizable effects
4 common mistakes of antecedent interventions
Use functional rather than structural termsTie procedures to specific principles of bx
2 solutions to antecedent intervention mistakes
Defined by effects on bx, other stimuli, &role in functional relations
Functional terms
Defined by their “features”; not tied to principles of bx
Structural terms
Setting events
Ecological variables
2 types of structural terms
A temporally remote ,or extended, compound event
Setting event
Non-discrete stimuli overlap discrete antecedent-behavior relationships
Ecological variables
Discriminative control strategies Environmental enrichment Antecedent exercise Relaxation exercise Cushion antecedent predictors No not mention bad behavior Medical treatment Non-contingent restraints
8 generic antecedent interventions
Alters the discriminative control over behavior
Discriminative Stimulus Control Strategies
Develop SD for prosocial bx SDs for problem bx into SDs for prosocial bx & SΔs for problem bx
EOs for problem bx into SDs for prosocial bx
Transfer of discriminative control
4 types of discriminative control strategies
