If a particular action or response causes the cancellation or postponement of an event that would otherwise have occurred, the action may be said to be an avoidance response. Successful avoidance of unpleasant or harmful consequences has obvious adaptive value, but has long seemed to pose a serious problem for theories of learning. A successful avoidance response is one which is followed by the absence of an aversive event... Another [solution], adopted by two-factor theories, is to assume that avoidance responses are reinforced because they reduce a state of fear classically conditioned to stimuli signaling the occurrence of the aversive event. A third, adopted by some radical behaviorists, is to describe the operations that appear to be required to reinforce avoidance responding and to eschew speculation about the inner processes of learning responsible. 2, record 7, English, - avoidance%20response

Anxiety sensitivity is the fear of anxiety-related sensations. It is thought to arise from beliefs that these sensations have harmful consequences. For example, an individual may fear that the sensation of palpitations indicates a serious, life-threatening condition, such as a heart attack. According to expectancy theory, such an individual may become anxious whenever this symptom is experienced and may tend to avoid activities or places that are believed to bring it on. 2, record 9, English, - anxiety%20sensitivity
