Behavior Theories-
Pavlov: (Classical conditioning theory.) Pavlov was a Russian physiologist who on a Nobel Prize
for his outstanding contributions to the physiology of digestion which he studied through his
well-known experiments with dogs. Pavlov formalized his observations of behaviors in dogs in a
theory of classical conditioning (bringing about involuntary behavior or reflexes through
conditioned response to stimuli).
Watson: (Behaviorism Theory) An American psychologist who rejected the unconscious
motivation of psychoanalysis as being too subjective. He developed a school of thought referred
to as behaviorism which he believed was more objective or measurable. Watson contended that
adaptive and maladaptive personality traits and responses were socially learned through
classical conditioning.
B.F. Skinner (Operant Conditioning Theory) Skinner represented the second wave of behavioral
therapists. Skinner researched operant conditioning in which voluntary behaviors are learned
through consequences, and behavioral responses are elicited through reinforcement which
causes a behavior to occur more frequently. A consequence can be a positive reinforcement or a
negative reinforcement. Absence of reinforcement or extinction also decreases behavior by
withholding a reward that has become habitual.
Behavior therapy-
Behavior therapy is based on the assumption that changes in maladaptive behavior can occur
without insight into the underlying cause. This approach works best when it is directed at
specific problems and the goals are well defined. Behavior therapy is effective in treating people
with phobias, alcoholism, schizophrenia, and many other conditions.
Modeling: In modeling, the therapist provides a role model for specific identified behaviors, and
the patient learns through imitation. This may be done with the therapist doing the modeling,
another patient modeling the behavior or the presentation of a video for the purpose.
Operant conditioning: The basis for behavior modification and uses positive reinforcement to
increase desired behaviors. For example, when desired goals are achieved or behaviors
performed, patients might be rewarded with tokens. Operant conditioning has been useful in
improving the verbal behaviors of mute, autistic, and developmentally disabled children.
Systematic Desensitization: A form of behavior modification therapy that involves the
development of behavior tasks customized to the patient’s specific fears; these tasks are
presented to the patient while using learned relaxation techniques.
Aversion therapy: This technique is used widely to treat behaviors such as alcoholism, sexual
deviation, shoplifting, hallucinations, violent and aggressive behavior, and self-mutilation.
Aversion therapy is sometimes the treatment of choice when other less drastic measures have
failed to produce the desired effect.
1. Pairing of a maladaptive behavior with a noxious stimulus so that anxiety or fear
becomes associated with the once-pleasurable stimulus.
