Document Summary
Treatment packages that focus on the manipulation of antecedent stimuli also called antecedents fall into the categories of rules, goals, modeling, physical guidance, situational inducement, and motivation. In behavioral terminology, a rule describes a situation in which a behavior will lead to a consequence. A rule can function as an sd a cue that emitting the behavior specified by the rule will lead to the reinforcer identified in the rule, or a cue that not following the rule will lead to a punisher. Reinforcers are also implied for rules stated in the form of advice. For example, the advice you should get a good education typically implies that doing so will lead to favorable consequences such as a well-paying job. On the other hand, rules given in the form of a command or a threat imply that noncompliance will be punished.
