sessions that in turn leads to long-term corrective learn-ing (Foa & Kozak, 1986; Foa & McNally, 1996). Mostrecently, we have emphasized optimizing inhibitorylearning and its retrieval in ways that are not necessar-ily dependent on reductions in fear throughout trials ofexposure (Craske et al., 2008); we discuss this approachbelow.Emotional processing theory emphasizes mecha-nisms of habituation as precursors to cognitive correc-tion. Specifically, emotional processing theory purportsthat the effects of exposure therapy derive from activa-tion of a “fear structure” and integration of informationthat is incompatible with it, resulting in the develop-ment of a non-fear structure that replaces or competeswith the original one. Incompatible information derivesfirst from within-session habituation, or reduction infear responding with prolonged exposure to the fearstimulus. Within-session habituation is seen as a pre-requisite for the second piece of incompatible informa-tion, which derives from between-session habituationover repeated occasions of exposure. Between-sessionhabituation is purported to form the basis for long-termlearning and to be mediated by changes in “meaning,”or lowered probability of harm (i.e., risk) and lessenednegativity (i.e., valence) of the stimulus. Emotionalprocessing theory guides clinicians to focus on the ini-tial elevation of fear followed by within- and between-session reductions in fear as signs of treatment success.Although enticing in its face validity, support for thetheory has been inconsistent at best (Craske et al.,2008; Craske, Liao, Brown, & Vervliet, 2012). Rather,the evidence suggests that the amount by which fear ha-bituates from the beginning to the end of an exposurepractice is not a good predictor of overall outcomes, andthat evidence for between-session habituation is mixed(Craske et al., 2008, 2012).A return to the science of fear learning and extinctionmay help to explain the effects of exposure therapy andthereby optimize its implementation. It is now thoughtthat inhibitory learning is central to extinction (Bou-ton, 1993). Inhibitory pathways are also recognized inthe neurobiology of fear extinction (see Sotres-Bayon,Cain, & LeDoux, 2006). Within a Pavlovian condi-tioning approach, inhibitory learning means that theoriginal conditioned stimulus–unconditioned stimulus(CS-US) association learned during fear conditioningis not erased during extinction, but rather is left intactas a new, secondary learning about the CS-US devel-ops (Bouton, 1993). The degree to which inhibitory as-sociations shape fear responding at retest (the index ofstrength and stability of new “learning”) is independentof fear levels expressed throughout extinction and in-stead is dependent on factors such as context and time.Based on the inhibitory retrieval model of extinction,outcomes may be enhanced by strategies that do notrely on fear reduction within a trial of exposure (Craske

What is learning?

It fosters continuous improvement and learning through specific, actionable feedback.

Guthrie is best known for his theory that all learning was based on a stimulus–response association. ... The theory was: "A combination of stimuli which has accompanied a movement will on its recurrence tend to be followed by that movement". a theory stating that if a pattern of stimulation and a response occur together in time and space, learning occurs by the formation of associations between them, so that the same stimulus pattern will elicit the same response on subsequent occasions.
