Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the classical conditioning techniques listed: Token economy, Operant conditioning, Systematic desensitization, and Flooding.
Recall that classical conditioning involves learning through association, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a response.
Understand that systematic desensitization is a classical conditioning technique used to reduce anxiety by gradually exposing a person to the anxiety-provoking stimulus while teaching relaxation.
Recognize that token economy and operant conditioning are based on reinforcement principles, not classical conditioning, and flooding involves intense exposure without gradual steps.
Conclude that the technique specifically designed to reduce anxiety through classical conditioning principles is systematic desensitization.
