A consequence intervention is a reactive strategy that occurs after a behavior with the aim of increasing or decreasing the future probability of that behavior It involves delivering a stimulus reinforcer or punisher contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior The scenario involving Davey bringing baked goods to his neighbor is the one that would NOT be considered a consequence intervention The key phrase here is regardless of any specific behavior the neighbor has engaged in and randomly brings over This suggests that the delivery of sweets is noncontingent on the neighbors behavior While it might function as noncontingent reinforcement NCR if the neighbor values the sweets and it reduces problem behavior it is not a consequence in the sense of being delivered contingent upon a specific response Lets analyze the other options to understand why they are consequence interventions Brenda and the iPad Brendas crying behavior is followed by her mom giving the iPad consequence This is a clear example of a consequence intervention likely positive reinforcement for crying increasing the future probability of crying in similar situations Jackie and the Pizza Jackies team committing less than four penalties behavior is followed by getting pizza consequence This is a contingency meaning the consequence pizza is dependent on the behavior low penalties This is a consequence intervention designed to reinforce desired team behavior Jays car and inspecting the engine Jays car not starting antecedentevent leads to him popping the trunk behavior which is then followed by the opportunity to inspect the engine consequence potentially negative reinforcement if it leads to fixing the problem and escaping the aversive carnotstarting situation or simply a response with an immediate sensory consequence His action is a reaction to the cars state and the act of opening the trunk has an immediate consequence access to the engine compartment
