Question 8

Case Study: Jamil

Whenever Jamil was a young child, his older brother would sneak up behind him wearing a realistic rubber monster mask and make an extremely loud roaring noise, which frightened Jamil and made him cry. Now, as an adult, whenever Jamil sees any rubber mask displayed in a shop, he immediately experiences an intense physiological fear response and begins to sweat.

Apart from biological explanations, outline how one learning approach can explain Jamil's reaction to rubber masks.
