Things that set the stage for the behavior, occurring in close proximity to the behavior such as the activity the individual is engaged in, the setting, the people they are around, or the actions of the people around them.

Antecedents

Explanation:

Antecedents come from the word ancestor which simply means that something or someone that precedes another. Like a father precedes or comes before a child. In a similar way, an antecedent is something that precedes another. Here, antecedent is considered a factor that leads to a behavior or sets the stage for a behavior to occur. Hence, this factor or action or element will be called an antecedent for that specific behavior. The antecedent is established by noticing and investigating the settings in which the behavior occurs and by looking at the changes that occurred immediately before the onset of the behavior.
