Antecedent Strategies and Differential Reinforcement

Some behavior plans work by changing what happens before a behavior. Others work by changing what happens after it, so that reinforcement depends on meeting a rule the plan sets. As an RBT (Registered Behavior Technician), you will carry out both kinds of plan. Your supervisor decides which procedure to use. Your job is to run it exactly as written, record what you see, and ask when the plan doesn't cover a situation.
