| Antecedent events are ones that | cue of elicit a certain behavior |
| Consequences are events that | maintain a behavior in some way by either increasing or decreasing it |
| Positive Reinforcement | the addition of something as a consequence to increase the likelihood of a behavior |
| Negative Reinforcement | the elimination or avoidance of an unpleasant stimuli to increase a behavior |
| Positive punishment | An aversive stimulus is added to decrease or eliminate a behavior |
| Negative punishment | a positive or reinforcing stimulus is removed following the behavior to decrease likelihood of behavior occurring again. |

| Systematic Desensitization | Clients imagine successively more anxiety-arousing situations at the same time that they engage in a behavior that competes with the anxiety |
