Which of the following is/are NOT correct in respect of 'Behavioural Techniques'? |
Vicarious learning procedures are used here if necessary. Behaviour is sought to be changed through classical conditioning or operant conditioning The principles of these techniques are to reduce the arousal level of the client. None of the above |
None of the above |
The correct answer is Option 4: None of the above Option 1: Vicarious learning procedures are used here if necessary. — Correct. Behavioural approaches may use modelling and observational learning to help individuals acquire or modify behaviours. Option 2: Behaviour is sought to be changed through classical conditioning or operant conditioning. — Correct. These are fundamental methods used in behavioural interventions to bring about desired behavioural changes. Option 3: The principles of these techniques are to reduce the arousal level of the client. — Correct. A major component of behavioral interventions (especially when treating anxiety, panic, or phobias) focuses on autonomic nervous system regulation. Methods like Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR), deep breathing exercises, and biofeedback are core behavioral techniques explicitly designed to reduce physiological and emotional arousal levels. NCERT: "A range of techniques is available for changing behaviour. The principles of these behavioural techniques are to reduce the arousal level of the client, alter behaviour through classical conditioning or operant conditioning with different contingencies of reinforcements, as well as to use vicarious learning procedures, if necessary." |
