- The Behavioural Approach to Explaining Phobias
- Mowrers two process model
- Classical/ operant conditioning
- Classical: Acquisition- where phobia comes from
- Operant: Maintenance- what keeps the phobias going
- Classical conditioning
- Stimulus response associations explain development of phobias
- We associate something negative with an object/event
- Causes conditioned response of fear
- E.g Little Albert
- Maintenance by operant conditioning
- Helps to reinforce/ maintain phobia
- Avoiding unpleasant situations is negative reinforcement
