Antecedents and Precision Prompts;

Antecedents: Precision Prompts
What are antecedents for our purposes OBM?
deliberate attempt to change or maintain bx by presenting some sort of
stimulus before the bx.
💡 However you package yourself, is an antecedent.
Antecedent
What are antecedents in general?
Anything a person senses, that contains info about bx consequences and
increases the likelihood that they will respond.
The word stimulate, signal, cue, prompt, trigger, encourage and
motivate all refer to antecedent related events.

, Examples of antecedents in Business and Industry
What are some examples of antecedents in business and industry?
Goals
Objectives
Priorities
Accountabilities
Job Descriptions
Policies, procedures, standards, rules
Instruction and information related to policies, procedures and processes
The bx of other people can also be antecedent.
Self-Management Antecedents
Things that you say to yourself, physical states, and mental images that
facilitate your bx.
Feelings of hunger, taste, stress, frustration, happiness, may be antecedents
to bx.
💡 Antecedents influence behaviour. Consequences control behaviour. This
is because consequences affects the likelihood of the bx happening
again in the future.
How to use Antecedents Effectively
How do we use antecedents effectively?
An antecedent is most effective when it immediately precedes bx.
The higher the probability than an antecedent will signal a consequence
that is valuable or meaningful to the person, the more effective it will be.
The effectiveness of the antecedent may be measured by the correlation
between the antecedent and bx consequences associated with it.
