What is an example of altering antecedents to modify behavior?

Removing distractions from the study area
Applying a punishment after a behavior
Offering a reward for every book read
Repeating affirmations daily

The correct answer is: Removing distractions from the study area

Altering antecedents to modify behavior involves changing the circumstances or environment that occur before a behavior happens. In this case, removing distractions from the study area is an example of altering antecedents. By eliminating distractions such as noise, clutter, or other interruptions, the individual is more likely to focus on studying, leading to improved behavior in this context. The other options do not involve altering antecedents to modify behavior: - Applying a punishment after a behavior (Option B) involves consequences after the behavior has already occurred, not changing the environment before the behavior. - Offering a reward for every book read (Option C) focuses on consequences or outcomes after a behavior has taken place, not modifying antecedents. - Repeating affirmations daily (Option D) is a form of self-motivation or positive reinforcement but does not directly alter antecedents to modify behavior like removing distractions would.
