Behavioral Therapy | aims to change factors in the environment that influence an individual’s behavior as well as the ways in which individuals respond to their environment |
Behavioral Therapy main features | Focuses on changing behavior • Rooted in empiricism • Assumes behaviors have a function • Emphasizes maintaining factors rather than factors that may have initially triggered a problem |
Behavioral Therapy is similar to: | Most Similar – CBT – REBT – Multimodal – Cognitive |
Ivan Pavlov | Russian physiologist completed classical conditioning experiments in early 1900s • Paired two stimuli so that a neutral stimulus (e.g., a light or bell) signaled occurrence of a second non -neutral stimulus (e.g., food or shock) |
John B. Watson | founder of behaviorism • Believed that only observable behaviors should be the focus of psychology • With Rayner, conducted a classic experiment in which an infant (Little Albert) learned to fear a white rat after the rat was paired with a loud noise |
E. L. Thorndike and B. F. Skinner | • First to describe operant conditioning – A response is emitted—perhaps randomly at first—and results in consequences. – Hence, the probability of the response’s future occurrence is changed. • Assumes reinforcement and punishment |
Joseph Wolpe | Systematic desensitization—used to treat phobias and anxiety disorders • The process is as follows: – Patient is taught relaxation skills– Hierarchy of fears is created. – Patient learns to cope and overcome the fear in each step of the hierarchy. |
Albert Bandura | Social cognitive theory • Interconnection between stimulus, reinforcement, and cognition • Critical role of vicarious learning, cognitions, self-regulation, and expectations • Person is seen as the agent for change. |
Extinction | In operant conditioning, extinction (no response) occurs when reinforcement is withheld following performance of a previously reinforced response. – Example: Children learn to stop throwing tantrums when the tantrums are no longer reinforced. |
Discrimination Learning | Involves reinforcing or punishing a response in some situations but not others so that the response becomes dependent on the context. |
Generalization | The occurrence of behavior in situations that resemble but are different from the stimulus environment in which the behavior was learned. |
