Jakobovits cited several possible<unk>  applications and these include its integration in the treatment of phobias through systematic desensitization. He argued that "in principle,<unk>  as an applied tool ought to work wherever some specifiable cognitive activity mediates some behavior that one wishes to alter." An application has also been developed to reduce speech anxiety by stutterers by creating<unk>  through repetition, thus reducing the intensity of negative emotions triggered during speech. There are studies that also linked<unk>  in education. For instance, the work of Tian and Huber (2010) explored the impact of this phenomenon on word learning and effective reading. The authors claimed that this process can serve as a unique approach to test for discounting through loss of association since it allows the separation of the "lexical level from<unk>  level effects in a meaning-based task that involves repetitions of words."<unk>  has also been used as a tool to gain more understanding on language acquisition such as those studies that investigated the nature of multilingualism.
