Which term refers to events that occur after a given behavior that may influence the reoccurrence of that behavior?

The term that refers to events occurring after a given behavior, which may influence the likelihood of that behavior reoccurring, is "consequences." In behavior analysis, consequences are responses or events that follow a behavior and can either reinforce or discourage future instances of that behavior. For example, if a child receives praise (a positive consequence) for completing their homework, this may increase the likelihood that they will complete their homework in the future.

Other terms mentioned in the choices have different meanings: “antecedents” refer to events or stimuli that occur before a behavior, affecting its occurrence; “duration recording” is a method used to measure how long a behavior lasts; and “anecdotal record” is a narrative account of behavior, used for documentation purposes but doesn’t specifically address the relationship between behavior and subsequent events. Therefore, consequences specifically relate to the post-behavior events and their influence, making this term the most accurate choice.
