Preferred term

covert conditioning  

Definition

  • Covert conditioning refers to a set of procedures that share a common basis in the use of imagery as the means of altering response frequency. The term covert is utilized because clients are asked to use unobservable, imagined processes to establish new, adaptive responses. Such imaginal processes can include thinking or talking to oneself, imaging, feeling, or reproduction of sensations or bodily cues.
