Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A setting event is an antecedent event that occurs prior to a target behavior. It can influence the likelihood of the behavior occurring, even if it is not present in the same environment as the behavior. Consequence events occur after the behavior and can either strengthen or weaken the likelihood of the behavior happening again. Negative events are not a recognized term in behavior analysis. Related events are too vague to be a valid answer.
