Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aversion therapy involves pairing a negative stimulus with an unwanted behavior or response in order to decrease the likelihood of that behavior or response occurring again in the future. In option A, an appropriate positive response is paired with electric shock, which would create a negative association and decrease the likelihood of that response occurring again in the future. Option B involves modeling appropriate behavior, which is not aversion therapy. Option C involves pairing a positive stimulus (relaxation) with an unwanted behavior, which is not consistent with aversion therapy. Option D involves positive reinforcement, which is not consistent with aversion therapy.
