  engaging with undesirable behaviour therapy is treating
• what is the UCS?

  aversive stimulus (electric shock)
• what does the UCS produce?

  automatic UCR (avoidance)
• what leads to the same consequence (electric shock) when paired together repeatedly?

  aversive stimulus (UCS) paired with undesirable behaviour (NS)
• what are the examples for classical conditioning in aversion therapy?

  electric shock

  alcoholism & antabuse
• electric shock

  UCS -> UCR (electric shock -> avoidance

  UCS + NS -> UCR (electric shock + undesirable behaviour -> avoidance)

  CS -> CR (undesirable behaviour -> avoidance)
• alcoholism & antabuse

  UCS -> UCR (antabuse -> nausea)

  UCS + NS -> UCR (antabuse + alcohol -> nausea)

  CS -> CR (alcohol -> nausea)
