Sallys Case Sally is a 23 year old woman
Sally is a 23-year-old woman who has a severe phobia of
dogs. She has had this phobia since she had a negative experience with dogs
when she was in the second grade. She now goes out of her way to avoid dogs and
places that dogs may be. This causes her to experience anxiety when she
meets someone new and is invited to an unfamiliar area.
Analyze the three potential ways Sally could have developed
this phobia: operational (stimulus-response, consequence), classical
(CS-UCS-UCR-CR), and observational.
Discuss how extinction and cognitive learning could help
Sally recover from her phobia.
Describe Sally's phobia using inference and research of the
development of simple phobias, such as dog phobias.
Describe, in detail, how the phobia could be explained by
the following:
o Classical
conditioning
o Operant
conditioning
o Observational
learning
Discuss how the process of extinction could be used to help
Sally overcome her phobia.
Discuss how the tenets of cognitive theory could be applied
to help Sally overcome her phobia.
