2023-2025 Year 12 A-Level Psychology: Psychopathology: The Cognitive Explanation

These flashcards explore how the cognitive approach explains depression as being linked to internal mental processes. They clarify that negative and irrational thoughts don’t directly cause depression but instead increase vulnerability to it, as proposed by cognitive psychologists Ellis and Beck.

2023-2025 Year 12 A-Level Psychology: Psychopathology: The Behavioural Treatments Of Phobias

These flashcards explain behavioural methods used to treat phobias, including systematic desensitisation and flooding. They highlight how these therapies use classical conditioning principles to help individuals unlearn maladaptive responses by breaking the association between the conditioned stimulus and the fear response.

2023-2025 Year 12 A-Level Psychology: Psychopathology: The Behavioural Explanation Of Phobias

These flashcards outline how the behaviourist approach explains phobias as learned behaviours. They describe the two-process model, which involves classical and operant conditioning, showing how fear responses are acquired through association and maintained through reinforcement.

Applied Behavior Analysis Shaping
TermDefinition
shaping
differently reinforce successive approximations toward a terminal behavior.
differential reinforcement
procedure in which reinforcement is provided for responses that shape a predetermined dimension or quality and reinforcement is withheld for responses that do not demonstrate this quality
response differantiation
when differential reinforcement is applied consistently within a response class its dual effects result in a new response class composed primarily of responses sharing the characteristics of the previously reinforced sub class
successive approximations
gradually changing criterion for reinforcement during shaping results in succession of new response classes.
clicker training
science based system for shaping BX using positive reinforcement. reinforcement is paired with clicking sound so the sound becomes a conditioned reinforcer
guidelines for implementing shaping
• Select the termal BX • Determine the criterion for success • analyze the response class • identify the first BX to reinforce • eliminate interfering or extraneous stimuli • proceed in gradual stages • limit number of approx. at each level • continue to reinforce when the terminal BX is acheived.
