Shelly begins to cry and cries louder when her dad continues to refuse. At the checkout lane, in front of the cashier, Shelly throws herself onto the floor and begins screaming. Her dad responds by grabbing a candy bar and giving it to her. She quickly quiets down and eats her candy bar. This exchange gets repeated on subsequent trips to the grocery store.

What kind of consequence follows his behavior?Explanation / Answer
4)

B) US is the panic attack, CS is the thought that he has to fly. The unconditioned response is the fear and the conditioned response is the nervousness.
C) this response has not extinguished because it is a form of fear. Phobias or fear are generally very difficult to be extinguished. Phobias are engineered so as to keep a person alive. Hence, it is cultivated time and again with the thought itself, and doesn’t get extinguished l
