2. Antecedent (behavioral psychology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antecedent_(behavioral...

   One intervention [15] talked about preventing bad behavior in classrooms as a positive alternative to punishment. [15] This goes against reinforcement theory, [8] which states that the consequence of the behavior drives the behavior. When it comes to behaviors in schools, the antecedent here (without intervention) could be a number of things: [15]

3. Three-term contingency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-term_contingency

   The three-term contingency (also known as the ABC contingency) is a psychological model describing operant conditioning in three terms consisting of a behavior, its consequence, and the environmental context, as applied in contingency management. The three-term contingency was first defined by B. F. Skinner in the early 1950s. [1]

4. Functional behavior assessment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_behavior_assessment

   Whether it is desirable or undesirable, behavior is controlled by environmental variables. Behavior is a function of the antecedent and consequences that make up the three-term contingency. Functional assessment is the process of gathering information about the antecedent stimuli and consequences functional to the problem behavior. It attempts ...

5. Behavioral momentum - Wikipedia

   B. F. Skinner (1938) proposed that all behavior is based on a fundamental unit of behavior called the discriminated operant. The discriminated operant, also known as the three-term contingency, has three components: an antecedent discriminative stimulus, a response, and a reinforcing or punishing consequence.

6. Functional analysis (psychology) - Wikipedia

   Behavior modification was a treatment approach that used respondent and operant conditioning to change behavior. Based on methodological behaviorism, [1] overt behavior was modified with (antecedent) stimulus control and consequences, including positive and negative reinforcement contingencies to increase desirable behavior, as well as positive and negative punishment, and extinction to reduce ...
