164 Assignment 7 1. Antecedent Control Procedure / Self Management Okay, all of you self-identified procrastinators….here’s your CHANCE!!!  It’s the perfect procedure to analyze why you wait until the last minute to do your assignments instead of just working on it before the due date. Wait…where are you going? You’re going to do it LATER?!? Have I taught you NOTHING?!? Sigh.

a. Briefly describe a behaviour that you would like to be doing more of, but another behaviour is currently competing or occurring instead. b. Apply Antecedent Control Procedure to those behaviours. In your answer:

I. identify the desirable and undesirable behaviours (define in specific terms)

II. identify current reinforcers maintaining each of these behaviours (also identify whether these reinforcers are potent and/or immediate/delayed

III. identify current antecedents for each

IV. show how you would present/remove antecedents, increase/decrease establishing operations and increase/decrease response effort for your desirable or undesirable behaviours.
