A
reinforcement
B
flooding
C
extinction
D
systematic desensitization
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Positive reinforcement is the process by which a stimulus or event, occurring after a behavior, increases the future occurrence of a behavior. Negative reinforcement also results in an increase in the frequency of a behavior, but through a process of contingently removing an aversive stimulus following a behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reinforcement: The process by which a stimulus increases the probability that a preceding behavior will be repeated.

Detailed explanation-3: -• A reinforcer is any stimulus that increases the frequency of a behavior. • To be a reinforcer stimuli must immediately follow the response and must be perceived as contingent upon the. response. Classical conditioning (S > R) • An involuntary response (UCR) is preceded by a stimuli (UCS), or.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pavlov had identified a fundamental associative learning process called classical conditioning. Classical conditioning refers to learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone) becomes associated with a stimulus (e.g., food) that naturally produces a behaviour.

Detailed explanation-5: -More specifically, an antecedent is any stimulus that immediately precedes a behavior (e.g., teaching asks a question). An antecedent can evoke (e.g., child raises hand) or abate (e.g., child refrains from raising hand) behavior.
