What are the major characteristics of behavior therapy?

- Directive, structured, active - Suited for clear behavioral goals-- reduction from alcohol, drugs, undesirable habits, fears - Includes classical and operant conditioning

What is classical conditioning?

Involves repeated presentation of a stimulus that, over time, causes a given response when paired with something else.

Involves the conditioned response decreasing over time after the presentation of the conditioned stimulus is removed. Doesn't completely remove classical conditioning but allows for new learning.

What is exposure therapy?

Involves repeated and thorough exposure to a feared stimulus, effective for treating phobias.

What is operant conditioning?

A type of learning based on consequences, in which behavior is influenced by the positive or negative association of the consequence that follows a behavior.

Positive Reinforcement

something pleasant is added or experienced after a behavior-- the behavior increases

Negative Reinforcement

something unpleasant is removed or goes away after a behavior-- the behavior increases

something unpleasant is added or experienced after a behavior-- the behavior decreases

something pleasant is removed or goes away after a behavior-- the behavior decreases

How can operant conditioning be used in therapy/counseling?

It can be used to increase client's positive behavior and decrease/eliminate client's undesirable behavior

Behavior Modification

application of operant conditioning to alter behavior

The process of gradually reinforcing particular target behaviors to approximate the desired behavior (i.e., a gradual change in behaviors)

Providing a token to a person each time each time the target behavior occurs, the tokens are then traded in for a reward

Contingency Management

Systematic delivery of reinforcing or punishing consequences to alter behavior

Functional Behavior Assessment

Used to identify the reasons for certain behaviors by identifying the relationships between the stimuli and the responses.
