Assignment: Antecedent control strategies: Misapplications and generalization
Part 1: After reading the chapter on antecedent control procedures, turn to page 351 in the Miltenberger digital text, and select one of the six misapplications cases. In your main post, briefly recap the case and discuss the reason the antecedent control procedure is not being used effectively. Provide an alternative plan that includes at least one antecedent control strategy from your reading.
Part 2: Using the alternative plan that you have created, select one of the methods of promoting generalization discussed in Chapter 28 of Cooper, Heron, and Heward, and discuss how you would incorporate this method of generalization into your corrected behavior management plan.

Antecedents to child behavior include the physical environment, such as the arrangement of desks in a classroom, and interactions with other people, such as a parent giving an instruction or making a request. When behavior that occurs in the presence of antecedent conditions is reinforced or punished, these conditions become a source of control. Referencing the preceding examples, children may be disruptive in the classroom if they sit at a desk in close proximity to other students who do not pay attention. Similarly, children may respond inappropriately when their parents present instructions that are unclear or stated harshly.
A first step toward antecedent management is verifying a predictable antecedent-behavior relationship. Consider a situation in which children..
