exposure therapy
Give this one a try later!
An approach to treatment that involves confronting an emotion-arousing
stimulus directly and repeatedly, ultimately leading to a decrease in the
emotional response
,Behavioural and cog interventions for worry
Give this one a try later!
-relaxation training (progressive muscle relaxation)
-stimulus control treatment
-exposure to uncertainty
-imaginal exposure to worst case scenario
what is a prognosis
Give this one a try later!
the anticipated course of a disorder
define validity
Give this one a try later!
the extent to which a test measures or predicts what it is supposed to
what are the main THREE important types of cognitions?
Give this one a try later!
, Causal attributions: e.g. I failed exam because...
Control beleifs (Seligman & Maier), learned helplessness
-effect of inescapable shock on avoidance, in animal model of what
happens when people enter depression, they give up due to that
inescapable shock failure or pain
Dysfunctional assumptions (Albert Ellis, Aaron Beck)
-negative emotions and problematic behaviour driven by dysfunctional
assumptions
e.g. If I ask for help > sign i am weak
execessive musturbation causes problems
phases of classical conditioning
Give this one a try later!
phase 1: unconditioned stimulus > unconditioned response
phase 2: repeatedly pair neutral stimulus (bell) to unconditioned (saliva)
when food is given
phase 3: conditioned stimulus alone triggers the conditioned response
What is a respondent behaviour?
Give this one a try later!
those that occur automatically and reflexively, i.e. hot > pull hand away
prevalence of a disorder
Give this one a try later!
, how many people in pop have ever had disorder (lifetime prevalence)
epidemiology of panic disorder (Valentiner & Fergus, 2012)
Give this one a try later!
-lifetime prevalence 5%
-family history strong predictor of onset
-diagnosed 2 - 3 more times in women
-age of onset 20s
high comorbidity
-chronic course
-30 - 50% ppl with panic disorder have agoraphobia
Specific phobias
Give this one a try later!
marked, persistent fear that is excessive or unreasonable in response to or
in anticipation of specific object or situation
What is acquisition in behaviourism?
Give this one a try later!
-initial stage of learning, response first established, strengthen the
association
