Below are four evaluative statements about flooding as a behavioural treatment for phobias. Which statement is correct? Shade one box only.
It is the preferred treatment for patients with cardiovascular issues as it resolves the phobia before physical symptoms can escalate.
It relies on reciprocal inhibition, where the patient is taught to replace their fear response with a state of deep relaxation during exposure.
It is highly cost-effective because the phobic response is often successfully extinguished in a single, prolonged session.
It typically has lower attrition (dropout) rates than systematic desensitisation because patients complete the therapy much faster.
