CLASSICAL CONDITIONING AND FEAR
Phobias are a Product of Classical Conditioning
Classical Conditioning is Used to Treat phobias
(Speaker Notes)
Phobias are developed through classical conditioning. Olson & Hergenhahn, (2013) define classical conditioning as “An experimental arrangement whereby a stimulus is made to elicit a response that was not previously associated with that stimulus” (p. 418). Just as phobias are developed through classical conditioning, it is also treated through techniques using classical conditioning as well.

GLOBOPHOBIA: DEVELOPING A FEAR OF BALLOONS
BEFORE CONDITIONING
Loud Noise = unconditioned stimulus (US) - Crying/Fear = unconditioned response (UR)
Balloon = neutral stimulus (NS) – no response (NR)
DURING CONDITIONING
Popping balloon (UCS + NS) = Crying/Fear (CR)
AFTER CONDITIONING
Balloon (CS) = Fear/Crying/Phobia (CR)
(Speaker Notes)
Globophobia is the fear of balloons. As with most fears, globophobia is most likely a result of classical conditioning. Classical conditioning happens when a response is paired with a stimulus that naturally occurs. In this case, the unconditioned stimulus is a loud noise that causes crying and/or fear. The neutral stimulus is the balloon that alone has no negative response. When the loud noise is introduced with the balloon by it popping, it results in crying and/or fear. This causes the individual to be afraid of balloons.

For treatment of a phobia, a simple go to method of treatment is flooding. With this method, the conditioned stimulus is presented to the individual with a phobia repeatedly (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2013). Forced and constant exposure to balloons and even popping balloons is a method for
