B1 - Explains how operant conditioning maintains the phobia through reinforcement, specifically how avoiding the stimulus prevents extinction. B1 - Explains how negative reinforcement works (avoidance leads to a reduction in anxiety, rewarding the avoidance behavior). B1 - Demonstrates accurate use of behavioral terminology (e.g., stimulus, response, conditioning, association, reinforcement). B1 - Applies acquisition to Maya: identifies the unconditioned stimulus (being trapped/darkness) causing fear, paired with the elevator (neutral stimulus). A1 - Applies conditioning outcomes to Maya: the elevator becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS) producing the conditioned response (CR) of fear. A1 - Applies maintenance to Maya: walking up 15 flights of stairs is the avoidance behaviour that prevents her from experiencing elevator-related anxiety. A1 - Applies negative reinforcement to Maya: the reduction in anxiety from avoiding elevators reinforces and maintains her phobia. A1 - Evaluates a strength: the clinical utility of the model, which led to highly effective behavioral treatments like systematic desensitisation. C1 - Evaluates a limitation: biological preparedness (Seligman), which explains why evolutionary threats are more easily conditioned than modern ones like elevators. C1 - Evaluates a limitation: cognitive factors are ignored, such as irrational thoughts about the elevator's safety cable snapping, which behaviorism cannot fully account for. C1 - Evaluates a limitation: incomplete explanation, as not everyone trapped in an elevator develops a phobia, indicating genetic or cognitive vulnerabilities. C143:T659,- Describes acquisition of phobias via classical conditioning (pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to produce a conditioned fear response). B1 - Describes maintenance of phobias via operant conditioning (negative reinforcement through avoidance of the phobic stimulus). B1 - Describes a second psychological explanation, such as cognitive theory (cognitive biases/irrational beliefs) or evolutionary/biological preparedness (genetic predisposition). B1 - Explains details of the second explanation, such as how attentional bias/catastrophising exaggerates danger, or how fearing evolutionary threats facilitated survival. B1 - Evaluates the behaviourist explanation using supporting empirical evidence, such as Watson and Rayner's (1920) 'Little Albert' study. M1 - Evaluates the behaviourist explanation using contradictory evidence, such as Di Nardo et al. (1988) showing that traumatic experiences (e.g. dog bites) do not always lead to phobias. A1 - Evaluates the cognitive explanation using supporting evidence, such as the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in treating social phobias. M1 - Evaluates the evolutionary explanation using supporting observations, such as Seligman's (1971) point that phobias of modern hazards (e.g. cars, electrical outlets) are rare. A1 - Demonstrates clear, coherent, and logical structure throughout the essay. C1 - Uses accurate psychological terminology consis
