When we’re talking about cognitive-behavioral therapy there’re an amount of theories that
combined form this integrative discipline. Among all these we find respondent conditioning
theories, operant learning theory and it also incorporates cognition.
The other theory that contributed to forming CBT is conditioning; this theory went, at its
time, primarily for the treatment of anxiety. It also brought the concepts of extinction,
habituation, and counterconditioning.
To shoot a more effective strategy, cognitive processes became integrated with behavioral
interventions, this impacted behavior therapy with children through modeling, self-
instruction training and problem-solving. Modeling says that even in the absence of
respondent or operant contingencies, and individual can learn by viewing other person’s
behavior; self-instruction arises to teach impulsive children how to control their behavior;
and problem-solving focuses on internal thought processes as one mechanism of change.

health disorders in youth. This is because it provides a treatment informed by a wider set of
models, it also continues with research that is leading to constants updates in the area.
