Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behavioral activation therapy focuses on helping individuals engage in activities that are positively reinforcing and increase feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, and accomplishment. It is a type of behavioral therapy that can be used to treat depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. Observational learning and classical learning are not specifically focused on increasing positive reinforcement for an individual, and operant learning is a broader term that encompasses the use of reinforcement and punishment to modify behavior, rather than specifically focusing on increasing positive reinforcement.
