An antecedent control procedure for Automatic Reinforced Behavior is a form of intervention that aims to change the environment in order to decrease the likelihood of the undesired behavior. Option A, Positive Reinforcement, involves providing a reward or positive consequence after the behavior has occurred, which is not effective in changing the behavior in the long term. Option B, Negative Reinforcement, involves removing an unpleasant consequence to increase the likelihood of the behavior, which is not applicable to Automatic Reinforced Behavior. Option D, Extinction, involves ignoring the behavior and withholding any reinforcement, but this may not work for Automatic Reinforced Behavior as it is not influenced by external consequences. The correct option, C, Replacement Behavior, is a type of antecedent control procedure that involves teaching and reinforcing a new behavior to replace the undesired behavior, thereby addressing the root cause of the behavior.
