Topic 1.1
How does classical conditioning contribute to the development of phobias?
Classical conditioning leads to phobias via reinforcement for avoiding the feared object or situation, thereby increasing fear reactions over time.
Phobias are genetically inherited and not influenced by conditioning processes.
Classical conditioning reduces existing phobias by associating pleasant stimuli with feared objects or situations.
A neutral stimulus becomes associated with a fear response through pairing with a painful or frightening event.
