So, he was put in a room with a bird for a long period of time, and the bird was no harm to him. Then, the phobia finally diminished because he learned the bird was not going to harm him.

He was afraid of emergency sirens, and it triggered anxiety. The fourth example was a little boy that feared loud noises, but not rats. Experimenters tested the little boy every time he touched a rat by sounding a loud noise. He finally started to
