Unit 29D2- Analyse antecedent behaviour and consequences of an incident of challenging behaviour
What is antecedent behaviour? I will explain its concept and Analyse the behaviour below and the
consequences of an incident of challenging behaviour.
Antecedent behaviour and consequences for an incident of challenging behaviour
First things first, what does antecedent refer to? Antecedent refers to the stimuli or activity that
occurs just before an individual exhibits the behaviour. The antecedent is the root cause of the
behaviour. An antecedent is what was happening or what/who was present right before the
behaviour occurred. An antecedent could be anything, whether it be an argument before the
occurrence of challenging behaviour or the loss of a family member, antecedents are just events or
activities that occur before challenging behaviour and are usually the reason behind the behaviour.
Maybe a child misbehaves because their parents have banned them from seeing their friends, the
antecedent behind this scenario would be the child being banned from seeing their friends as it is
what occurred leading up the behaviour and is most likely what’s behind the behaviour.
With antecedent behaviour explained, how can it be understood and what methods can help with
this, well the use of ABC charts and recognition or behaviour patterns and triggers may help.
However, before I move on to talk about ABC charts, why is it important to understand antecedent
behaviour? It’s important to understand antecedent behaviour, behaviour that happened to prior to
an ancient, to implement measures to prevent it from happening in future. If it is understood then
attempts can be made and measures can be introduced to prevent the reoccurrence of such
behaviours and incident of challenging behaviour.
Recognition of behaviour patterns and triggers
Antecedent behaviours can not only be understood via the use of an ABC chart but also, through the
recognition of behaviour patterns and triggers. Antecedents can be understood by recognizing
behaviour patterns and triggers, because antecedents of behaviour are stimulants or triggers that
lead to events of challenging behaviour, antecedents are the triggers themselves, so by recognising
antecedents, they can be understood. Say for example, an individual gets a sandwich thrown at
them and hits the pupil throwing the sandwich. Behind the behaviour we can see that the throwing
of the sandwich has made the student reactive negatively i.e. the sandwich is the antecedent, the
trigger. The recognition of the sandwich can then help with the promotion of positive behaviour and
help such scenarios from happening in future. Maybe the two pupils are kept separate or maybe the
pupil who threw the sandwich is given a detention or consequence for their actions in an attempt to
get them to behave better.
You see, the recognition of behaviour patterns and triggers helps us understand antecedent
behaviours, as the recognition allows us to assess, look into and interpret what’s behind the
behaviour, how to prevent it from happening again and how to improve behaviour as a whole.
