Exposure therapy
9 important questions on Exposure therapy
Give an example of the classical conditioning of social fear
NS --> groep mensen
CS (groep mensen) - UCS (pesten) --> UCR (angst)
CS (groep mensen) --> CR (angst)
What is operant conditiong?
How can you apply the principles of UCS, UCR, CS and CR to exposure therapy?
(exposure instead of avoidance = negative reward)
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What does the Mowrer Two-process model state?
- Fear is origionally learned through classical conditioning
- Fear is maintained by operant conditioning
- Therapy must focus on extinction of CS --> CR, but also on breaking the cycle of avoidance of the feared stimuli, which would prohibit extinction.
What does the emotional process theory of (Kozak and Foa) state?
- Make a distinction between normal and pathological fear structures.
- Stress the importance of the 'meaning' element in the fear structure, for determining whether a fear structure leads to avoidance.
- A pathological fear structure is a fear structure in which the association between the stimulus, response and meaning representations doesn't reflect reality.
- Effective exposure = forming a correct fear structure
- Correct fear structure is changed, through activation + the introduction of new information that is incompatable with the old information.
- Fear structure is changed after exposure
- Caused by fear habituation (fear reduction during sessions and over course of therapy)
What does the inhibitory learning theory state?
- Effective exposure = the formation of a new, competing non-fear structure
- New information, incompatible with old info must be introduce to form a new structure.
- Enhancing the accessibility and retrievability of non-threat associations.
- Fear structure remains intact
- Fear toleration
- After exposure the new and old fear structure compete for retrieval.
What does the evidence indicate in relation to emotional processing theory and the inhibitory learning theory?
- Inhibitory learning: Inconclusive empirical evidence.
What are the most important differences between the emotional processing theory and the inhibitory learning theory?
ILT: nieuwe non-fear structure wordt gevormd. Huidige fear structure blijft bestaan maar leert men tolereren. Beide structureren strijden om voorrang bij herhaalde situatie.
Which three primary types of exposure exists?
- In vivo (real life) exposure
- Imaginal exposure
- Interoceptive exposure (stilstaan bij de somatische signalen van angst)
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
