Understanding Behaviour:
A= Antecedent (stimuli,cues,what triggers the behaviour) - those that which always produce a certain response e.g more a reflex, like peeling onions and you have no choice if your eyes water -those that re likely to produce a certain response but where the person has a choice e.g. being asked to come and sit at mat time, call their name, children always have a response
B=Behaviour
C= Consequences -occur immediately after the behaviour, or naturally occur without you interfering
3 types:
- Reinforcing consequences, a pleasant or rewarding events that increase that likelihood of the behaviour happening again
-Neutral consequences, no effect
