Counterconditioning in which people relax while being exposed to stimuli that elicit fear is referred to as ____.

Answer 1

Answer:

Counter conditioning in which people relax while being exposed to stimuli that elicit fear is referred to as systematic desensitization.

Explanation:

Systematic desensitization is an effective therapy treatment used by psychologists to help people respond to their fears. In this kind of therapy, the patient learns to overcome his/her fair towards any stimuli.

Firstly, several exercises are taught to the patient for relaxing. Then a list of events is made and practiced so that the patient learns to relax at the time of encounter with the stimulus. Though systematic desensitization is a very effective therapy, but it has become less common over the years.
