23
Q

What does practical application mean?

A

Being able to apply an idea to real life situations.

24
Q

How can we practically apply classical conditioning to the real world?

A

Classical conditioning can be used within systematic desensitisation.

25
Q

What is step 1 of systematic desensitisation?

A

Relaxation

26
Q

What is the last step of systematic desensitisation?

A

The therapy is completed when the client associates their most feared stimuli with relaxation.

27
Q

Which step of systematic desensitisation talks about working through each stage in the hierarchy of anxiety, where the patient is encouraged to use their relaxation technique as they are exposed to the stimuli.

A

Gradual exposure

28
Q

What happens in step 3 of systematic desensitisation: gradual exposure ?

A

This step of systematic desensitisation talks about working through each stage in the hierarchy of anxiety, where the patient is encouraged to use their relaxation technique as they are exposed to the stimuli.

29
Q

In systematic desensitisation, what stage talk about the patient only being able to move up the hierarchy when they are completely relaxed.

A

Step 4: Flexible

30
Q

AO3: How can we use the principles of classical conditioning in real life?

A

Classical conditioning can be used to treat common disorders such as alcoholism, gambling and phobias in aversion therapy.

31
Q

AO3: What happens in aversion therapy?

A

Aversion therapy, alcoholics are given a drug that makes them sick when they try to drink alcohol. This makes them associate drinking with sickness. which makes them not want to drink anymore.

32
Q

AO3: what did Watson and Raynor do which supports classical conditioning?

A

They used the principles of classical conditioning to give a child “little albert” a phobia of rats.

33
Q

AO3: In Watson and Raynor’s study, how did little albert learn to be scared of the rat?

A

Every time Albert played with the rat, the researchers created a loud bang to scare him . Albert associated the rat with the loud bang which created a phobia of rats.

34
Q

AO3: What can’t classical conditioning explain about some behaviours?

A

Classical conditioning cannot explain how the phobia develops overtime or
how we have a phobia without a traumatic event.
