Marty, a toddler is lying on the living room carpet drinking a bottle. Mom has been trying to get him to sleep for an hour and a half. His eyelids are slowly closing and he will soon be asleep. The phone in the kitchen rings loudly, and mom rushes across the room to answer it. At the request of her husband on the other end of the call, she goes into the living room and turns on the television (he is appearing in a news clip) which blasts because mom forgot to turn it down after the morning cartoon show. Marty drops his bottle, sits up, and begins to cry and scream. Define antecedents and provide suggestions for environmental changes as antecedent-based interventions that might prevent Marty’s outburst.
