An event that occur immediately following the target behavior. For example, if a child gets a piece of candy whenever he screams, then that piece of candy is a direct consequence of his screaming.
A stimulus that occurs after a particular behavior, as a result of that behavior. Antecedents are often considered when running either a functional behavior assessment or a functional behavior analysis. See also ABCs of Functional Behavior Assessment.
The monetary and non-monetary "costs" of an event. This could include financial, life safety, environmental, social, legal and other costs. Or in other words, the undesired outcomes or losses resulting from a mishap.
The outcome or payoff a decision maker receives or suffers when he adopts a particular act and when a particular state of nature ensues.
a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon; "the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise"; "his decision had depressing consequences for business"; "he acted very wise after the event"
the outcome of an event especially as relative to an individual; "that result is of no consequence"
a natural, logical result of a behavior
a natural outcome, a punishment is a normal one
() -- an event that occurs after a response and is produced by the response. A consequence can be presented (added) or taken away (subtracted) following a response. The term consequence also denotes a functional relationship between the response and the subsequent event. A component of the Does Equation. The equivalent corollary term in the Is Equation is subsequent event.
Rather than punishing the RAD child, bad behavior should be followed by a consequence, preferably one that is designed to fit the action that warranted it. Conversely, good behavior should be followed by a good consequence, or reward. Don't shield the child from natural consequences - unless of course, there is a threat to safety - as they can be even more effective.
Something that occurs as a direct result of action or effort. Consequences can be pleasant and reinforcing or unpleasant and punishing. Some consequences occur naturally.
A response to a behavior. It is what happens after a behavior occurs. Events which follow a behavior can strengthen or weaken that behavior. If you want to increase a behavior, use praise. If you want to decrease a behavior, ignore it.
Any event that follows a behavior (e.g., student gets out of doing work or student must complete work during recess).
(conséquence) - outcome, effect; used synonymously with impact
Outcome or impact of an event... AS/NZS 4360 Risk Management...
A stimulus (i.e. a verbal response, the acquisition of a reinforcing item or activity) that contingently follows a behavior. For instance, if a little girl's crying results in attention from her teachers, then teacher attention would be considered a consequence that followed the crying behavior.
The outcome of an event expressed qualitatively or quantitatively, being a loss, injury, disadvantage or gain. There may be a range of possible outcomes associated with an event.
An event that results from a specific response.
