Functional communication and priming are both antecedent control procedures that can be used to decrease and prevent escape behaviors. Functional communication involves teaching the individual more appropriate ways to request a break or to escape from a situation. Priming involves preparing the individual for the situation beforehand, which can reduce the likelihood of escape behavior occurring.

Reinforcement and extinction are not antecedent control procedures, as they are used to directly change or eliminate a behavior that has already occurred.

Prompting and shaping are both strategies used during the acquisition or teaching of new behaviors, rather than preventing escape behaviors from occurring.

Modeling and imitation are not antecedent control procedures, as they focus on modeling or mimicking others' behaviors rather than directly preventing escape behaviors.
