Definition
exposure therapy, systemic desensitaiztion, aversive conditioning
Term
exposure therapy
Definition
expose person to stiatuion continously until anxiety levels drop. now pairing experience of beign calm and relaxed with was feared initially
Term
systemic desensitization
Definition
actively helpign peoplet hrough when being exposed to feared sitaution- i.e. doing relaxation excercises etc. with them as they are in the situation. Also can go thrwough hierarchy ,so dont ahve to be thrown into most feared stiaution right away.

Definition

Term
observational learning
Definition
watchign a model perofrm a behavior and imitatign it. External reinforcemnt not necessary, however not all elarned behaviors are performed
