Answer to Question 1

Aversion therapy is a form of therapy that is used to reduce a behavior through associating
it with punishment. In other words, operant conditioning is used to decrease the frequency
of an undesirable behavior by following it with unpleasant consequences. Aversion
therapy can be used in the treatment of alcoholism. The alcoholic is treated with a drug
that makes it such that they will get sick if they drink. If they drink while on the drug they
get ill, thus drinking will come to be associated with the nausea and vomiting that occurs.

Answer to Question 2

A
