Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Classical conditioning involves learning that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired together, leading to a learned association between them. In the case of panic attacks, it is hypothesized that the person may have experienced a panic attack in a particular situation or in response to a specific trigger (such as a particular bodily sensation), and their body then learns to associate that trigger or situation with the panic attack. This learned association can then lead to future panic attacks when the person is exposed to the same trigger or situation.
