Ways to treat anxiety
|
Flooding, systemic desensitization
|
Flooding
|
Present the CS enough times but to dont present us (pretty much through extinctinon)
|
Systemic desensitization
|
1. first trained in relaxation techniques
2. Then the client and the therapist construct a fear hierarchy 3. Next the client gradually progresses through the fear hierarchy while performing the relaxation techniques |
Exposure therapy with relaxation
|
1. clench muscles then relax
2. rhythmical breathing 3.relax and think of happy place |
Counterconditioning
|
An aversive CS is paired with an appetitive stimulus
ex. snake :( CS/ ice cream :) US... put them together and UR :) then just snake alone :) |
Aversion therapy
|
To prevent the client from approaching a harmful appetitice stimulus, an appetitive stimulus is paired with the aversive stimulus
- repeated pairings cause the appetitice stimulus to become aversive |
In vivo therapies
|
The client is exposed directly to the Cs
|
Imaginal therapies
|
Client imagines the CS in treating a fear
|
Why would a researcher select in vivo therapy or imaginal therapy
|
Ethical reasons
impracticality expensive |
Effective ways to influence attitudes
|
1. repitition of an idea or assertion (validity effect)
2. endorsement by an attractive admired person 3. association of messge with a good feeling |
Stimulus substitution theory
|
CS is substituted for the US
CR should be equivalent to UR ( tone for food and then both cause salivation) |
Hollands experiment with rates
|
Tone- food - saliva
light- food- saliva CRs had somewhat different form saliva with head jerk/ saliva with rearing |
Preparatory response theory
|
CR prepares the organism for the US
fear - prepares the animal for shock |
REscorla WAgner theory
|
A general theory about classical conditioning (specifically, a theory about how neutral stimli become Css)
a= associative stregth of Us L= associative strenght of ligh T=tone |
