Not picking nits, but avoidance behaviors are really rather easy to extinguish. Using differential reinforcement does the job, but they wouldn’t teach you about those in Psych 101.

I’ve been a behavioral specialist for many years. The hardest to extinguish are sexual behaviors, where the payoff (R+) comes so quickly after the offset of the behavior.

Sorry to pic nits, but my entire career was intervention, analysis and training.
