Antecedent control procedures are strategies that are used to modify the environment before a behavior occurs in order to increase or decrease the likelihood of that behavior happening. In this case, the correct answer is B, which includes functional communication and the wait program as antecedent control procedures for ACCESS behavior. These strategies involve providing an alternative means of communication and increasing the time between the request and the opportunity to act, respectively. A and C are examples of behavior modification techniques, which involve changing the consequences of a behavior to increase or decrease its likelihood. D includes reinforcement and punishment, which are commonly used strategies in behavior analysis, but are not specifically considered antecedent control procedures for ACCESS behavior.
