BCIA: Neurofeedback Concepts
1. Which theoretical model proposes that biofeedback
produces nonspecific effects?: The placebo model proposes
that biofeedback produces nonspecific effects
like a drug due to client expectancies.
2. From cybernetic theory, which of these is a value your
body strives to maintain?: set point
3. The strongest evidence of self-regulation would be:
increased hand temperature during a single session when
instructed without feedback.
4. Which kind of reinforcement does a biofeedback training
system provide?- : secondary
5. A clinician provides fewer feedback trials as biofeedback
training progresses.
Which operant procedure does this strategy reflect?: fading
6. Which best describes biological feedback?: information
7. Instructions to change the color of a plastic dot used as a
relaxation reminder are designed to reduce the problem of:
habituation.
8. Active volition is illustrated by: trying
9. A coping skill, like the Quieting Response, is best learned
through: spaced
practice.
10. Who first proposed the concept of homeostasis?: Bernard
11. Casey reduced his frequency of daily exercise after it
resulted in painful leg cramps. This decline in exercise
illustrates the operant concept of: aversive
punishment (positive punishment). In aversive punishment
(positive punishment), the frequency of an operant behavior is
reduced when it results in an aversive outcome (leg cramps).
12. Carrie spends more time riding her horse on days that are
more stressful. Her awareness of when she requires more
riding time illustrates the concept
