I am lost in this class (PSYC 2008 Learning) Is having fear of drowning a conditioned emotional response (CER)?
- How can I describe in a brief description of the CER (fear of drowning) and how it was acquired. Within the description, identify (label) the components of Pavlovian conditioning: US, UR, neutral stimulus, CS, and CR.
- what are the steps someone could take to extinguish the CER. How would you know extinction has taken place. Briefly discuss the implications if spontaneous recovery were to occur.
- Explain one type of exposure therapy that could help someone with a similar CER overcome the behavior and why would that therapy help.
