Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antecedent interventions involve modifying the environment or context before a behavior occurs to prevent or reduce the likelihood of the behavior. Giving Wyatt a choice between doing his work on a computer or on a whiteboard is an antecedent intervention as it changes the conditions under which he works, potentially increasing his motivation and engagement.
