Counterconditioning.
Explanation: Dr. Shaw is pairing the feared stimulus (spiders) with a positive stimulus (fun puzzles) to replace the fear response with a positive one. This is distinct from systematic desensitization (which uses gradual exposure plus relaxation), modeling (observational learning), and second-order conditioning.
