Question 7.1

The study found that systematic desensitization was more effective than simple relaxation in reducing the severity and duration of anticipatory nausea. In light of this data, which of the following conclusions do you think are valid?

Selection AThis finding supports a classical conditioning model and provides evidence for a primarily physiological basis in the development of anticipatory nausea.
Selection BThis finding suggests that the development of anticipatory nausea is primarily due to factors unrelated to the classical conditioning model.
Selection CThis finding supports a classical conditioning model and provides evidence of a cognitive component in the development of anticipatory nausea.
Selection DThis finding suggests that physiological and pharmacological components are primarily responsible for the development of anticipatory nausea.
