Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Behavioral theories of anxiety are concerned with two issues: acquisition and maintenance. The original behavioral account (Watson & Morgan, 1917) focused on the ontogenic (acquisition) question and offered the Pavlovian con-ditioning procedure as the basic explanatory model.
