Practicing a reaction that is incompatible with a nervous reaction is a component of:

B)DRO
C)avoidance conditioning
D)behavioral trapping

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Counterconditioning involves pairing a previously anxiety-provoking stimulus with a new, positive response. Practicing a reaction that is incompatible with a nervous reaction is an example of this technique, as it teaches the individual a new way to respond to the anxiety-provoking situation. DRO involves reinforcing the absence of a particular behavior, avoidance conditioning involves learning to avoid a feared stimulus, and behavioral trapping involves gradually increasing the difficulty of a task to maintain a desired behavior. While these techniques may be beneficial in some cases, they do not relate directly to the described process of practicing an incompatible response.
