Provide an example of contingent reinforcement beginning with the antecedent of a manager and employee setting sales goals.

Answer should include that contingency of reinforcement is the relationship between a behavior and the preceding and following environmental events that influence that behavior.The antecedent is a stimulus to a behavior.So in the case of setting sales goals,the behaviors would be designed to meet those goals - things like calling on clients,offering extra customer service,etc.Consequences are the result of the behaviors.If the sales person's behaviors lead them to meet the set goals,positive consequences will follow.If the behaviors did not lead to the goals,negative consequences will follow.
