Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modelling or observational learning can be effective in helping children overcome fears and phobias. By observing others (such as a parent or therapist) who are not afraid of the dentist, a child may learn that there is nothing to be afraid of and may become more comfortable with dental visits. Modelling can also be used to encourage positive social behaviors, reduce withdrawal, and decrease obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Aversion therapy, operant conditioning, and token economy focus more on behavior modification through punishment and reward, and may not be as effective in addressing fears and phobias.
