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.

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.

Discontinuous Measurement Procedures

  1. Partial Interval Recording

  2. Whole Interval Recording

  3. Momentary Time Sampling

Discontinuous Measurement

Records a sample of behavior during an observation

Partial Interval Recording

Observing whether a behavior occurs or does not occur during specified time periods ex. in 10 second intervals, for a period of 10 minutes, did the client interact with the new toy?

Whole Interval Recording

Observing whether a behavior occurs or does not occur throughout the entire specified interval of time

ex. in a period of 10 minutes, did the client engage on task behavior?

Momentary Time Sampling

Observing whether a behavior occurs at the very end of a specified interval of time ex. in a 10 minute observation period, divided into 30 second intervals (20 total observation opportunities) did the Hulk engage in aggressive behavior?

How to prep for data collection

  • read data from last session

  • prepare materials and programs for current session

  • determine what programs you plan to work on during the session

  • gather materials

  • set up the first set of programs so they are ready

Percent of Occurrence

80-90% accuracy determines acquisition

Trials to Criterion

number of consecutive opportunities to respond required to achieve a performance standard

Discrete Categorization

classifying responses into discrete categories (severity, duration, independence/prompting codes)

Permanent Product Recording Procedures

measuring behavior after it has occurred by measuring tangible items or the effects a behavior has on the environment

Why do we collect data?

to track client progress

- to engage in data based decision making

Why do we need graphs?

to determine client progress

- to be included in regular written reports to our funding providers
