Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Systematic desensitization is a technique for assisting individuals to overcome their fear of a phobic stimulus. It is systematic in that there is a hierarchy of anxiety-producing events through which the individual progresses during therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A stimulus that follows a behavior or response is called a reinforcing stimulus or reinforcer. The reward of a Popsicle is a reinforcer for the child staying dry and clean. This is an example of operant conditioning, a form of behavioral therapy.
