Answer 1

Answer:

antecedent

Explanation:

Antecedents of behavior are stimulus events, situations, or circumstances that precede an operant response, it is what was happening or what/who was present right before the behavior occurred.

List of questions to gather information on the antecedents of a problem behavior:

• When does the problem behavior usually occur?
• Who is present when the problem behavior occurs?
• What activities or events precede the occurrence of the problem behavior?
• What do other people say or do immediately before the problem behavior?
• Does the child engage in any other behaviors before the problem behavior?
• When, where, with whom, and in what circumstances is the problem behavior least likely to occur?
