En el presente artículo se formula un modelo teórico del comportamiento de evitación. Seguidamente, se exponen una serie de experimentos, realizados en el Laboratori de Conducta (UAB), sobre inundación (bloqueo de respuesta) y su efecto sobre la extinción de la evitación y de las respuestas emocionales. Finalmente, se discute críticamente la evitación como modelo análogo del comportamiento humano de ansiedad.This paper formulates a theoretical model for avoidance behaviour. Afterwards, a set of experiments, executed in the «Laboratori de Conducta(UAB)», about flooding (blocking of response) and its effects on emotional and avoidance response extinction are review. Finally, the avoidance analogical model for human ansious behaviour is critically revised
