Post by: redcandle on Oct 21, 2015
In a study that is described in the text book, people with social phobia were treated either biomedically or psychologically.  Following the treatment period, they were asked to deliver speeches and underwent PET scans. In terms of behavioral measures and brain activity, it can be concluded from this study that
A) both treatment groups showed behavioral improvement and decreased activity in areas of the brain associated with emotional responses.
B) although both groups showed behavioral improvement, only the biomedical treatment led to decreased activity in areas of the brain associated with emotional responses.
C) neither treatment group demonstrated behavioral improvement or changes in brain activity when compared to a control group of participants.
D) although both groups showed decreased activity in areas of the brain associated with emotional responses, only those treated psychologically showed behavioral improvement.
