Quizplus · Accepted Answer

OCD is a disorder that involves both obsessions (repetitive, unwanted, intrusive thoughts) and compulsions (repetitive, ritualistic behaviors). These obsessions and compulsions tend to be irrational and interfere with normal functioning. The development and maintenance of OCD is believed to involve both classical conditioning (in which an originally neutral stimulus becomes associated with a negative emotional experience) and operant conditioning (in which the performance of a behavior is reinforced by a desired outcome or the removal of an aversive stimulus). Thus, option D is the accurate statement regarding OCD.
