Reciprocal Inhibition (Wolpe)
|
A form of counterconditioning to alleviate anxiety reactions by pairing a stimulus that produces anxiety (CS) w/ a stimulus that produces relaxation or other INCOMPATIBLE responses (US).
|
|
Systematic Desensitization
|
Pairing relaxation with hierarchically-arranged anxiety-evoking events.
1. Relaxation Training 2. Constructing the Anxiety Hierarchy 3. Desensitization in Imagination 4. In Vivo Desensitization |

|
Mowrer's Two-Factor Theory of Learning
|
A person first develops an anxiety reaction to an neutral stimulus (CS) when that stimulus is paired with a stimulus (US) that naturally elicits anxiety (classical conditioning). Then they avoid the CS b/c it allow them to avoid anxiety (negative reinforcement).
|
|
In Vivo Exposure w/ Response Prevention (Flooding)

|
|
Chaining
|
Combo of Classical and Operant Cond believe to account for complex behaviors. A number of distinct responses with each response serving as both a secondary reinforcer for the previus response and a positive discriminative stimulus for the next response; final response is usually a primary reinforcer.

Result of NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT. A Behavior increases b/c its performance allows to escape reinforcer.
Ex: Pressing a lever to avoid a shock. |
|
Avoidance Conditioning
|
TWO-FACTOR LEARNING. The onset of the negitive reinforcer is preceded by a cue (positive discriminative stimulus), which signals that the negative reinforcer is about to be applied. Learns to respond to avoid the negative reinforcer.
Ex: Green light = shock. Push lever = no shock. |
