Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Januari has used aversion conditioning, which involves pairing a behavior (smoking) with an unpleasant stimulus (nausea and dizziness) to reduce the frequency of the behavior. This is different from extinction, which involves removing reinforcement to decrease a behavior, flooding which involves exposing a person to a feared stimulus until they habituate to it, or systematic desensitization therapy which involves gradually exposing a person to a feared stimulus while teaching relaxation techniques.
