Avoidance learning is a type of operant conditioning (also known as instrumental conditioning). Active avoidance, passive avoidance, and escape responses. An escape response occurs when an aversive stimulus is presented and the subject makes a response to remove or escape the stimulus.

Avoidance Learning. A commonly used avoidance learning procedure is passive avoidance in which the behavior learned is the inhibition of a spontaneous behavior that leads to foot shock. From: Handbook of Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020
May 20, 2015 · Here, we review past and contemporary theories of avoidance learning. Based on the theories, experimental findings and clinical observations reviewed, we distill key principles of how adaptive and maladaptive avoidance behavior is acquired and maintained.

We will first revisit the role of avoidance learning in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders, including important insights from the neuroscience literature. Next, we will consider both the negative and positive aspects of avoidance for therapeutic interventions.
Learning to avoid aversive outcomes is crucial for survival, and it is ubiquitous in everyday life. This entry focuses on active avoidance, in which performing a certain behavior prevents an aversive outcome that would otherwise occur. Avoidance learning in that context consists of learning to perform the appropriate behaviors in the ...
