| In essence, associative structures are functionally defined as being fungible based on counterconditioning and extinction and nothing else. |
| Counterconditioning counters the existing valence with the opposite valence. |
| There have been two generally agreed upon routes: extinction and counterconditioning. |
| If he could live through it, countermeasures could be taken, counterconditioning could be set up. |
| Counterconditioning can only occur when an organism has an association between a mental representation and a valence, as acquired in an evaluative conditioning paradigm. |
| Counterconditioning names a similar process to extinction, though one which proceeds via a slightly different method. |
