Document Summary

Aversive conditioning: aversive conditioning is usually used to stop a particular behavior. The process involves pairing a habit a person wishes to break, such as smoking or bed- wetting, with an unpleasant stimulus such as electric shock or nausea. Shanikwa from smoking i could shock her every time she smokes. The shock is the ucs and the pain is the ucr. Once the smoking becomes associated with the electric shock (acquisition), shanikwa will experience pain when she smokes, even without the shock. Thus the smoking will become the cs and the pain the cr (but only if the shock is no longer given). Systematic desensitization: systematic desensitization was developed by joseph wolpe and is a process that involvers teaching the client to replace feelings of anxiety with relaxation. If akira has a horrific phobia of spiders, the therapist will teach akira relaxation techniques (or give akira a magical feel good drug).
