What is counterconditioning?

Counterconditioning

Counterconditioning is simply adding a new stimulus to an old one to stimulate a new response that is different than if only the first stimulus was offered. For example, a natural consequence for dumping out a trunk full of toys is to have to pick them up. If, however, a child continues to dump toys out and leave them, an additional task, such as also cleaning up another area of the room, might be tacked on.
