Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these therapeutic techniques are based on classical conditioning principles. Systematic desensitization involves pairing relaxation with gradually increasing exposure to a feared stimulus, while flooding involves intense and prolonged exposure to the feared stimulus. Exposure and response prevention aims to break the association between the feared stimulus and any compulsive or avoidant behaviors. Aversion therapy uses classical conditioning to pair a negative stimuli (such as electrical shock) with a behavior that is to be eliminated.
