Cue exposure and learning theory.
The implications are discussed for cue exposure treatment of four theoretical issues; (a) spontaneous recovery, (b) response competition, (c) generalization, and (d) the cognitive basis of conditioning. It is suggested that practical cue exposure treatment will not be as straight-forward as initial trials have suggested.
