Question

question 17 (4 points)
unusual esp subjects who defy chance when first tested nearly always lose their \psychic powers\ when retested. the decline effect is best explained in terms of
rtms
progression relaxction
regression toward the mean
the placebo effect
question 18 (4 points)
the value of emdr is in part due to the effectiveness of
facilitated communication
meta analysis
exposure therapy
the double - blind technique

Explanation:

• Question 17: Regression toward the mean is a statistical concept where extreme scores (in this case, high - initial ESP performance) tend to move towards the average (mean) upon retesting. rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a brain - stimulation technique. Progression relaxion is not a recognized psychological or statistical term. The placebo effect is about a response due to belief in a treatment, not relevant here.
• Question 18: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) involves having the client recall traumatic memories while following a therapist's finger movements. This is similar to exposure therapy, which aims to reduce fear and anxiety by exposing the client to the feared stimulus (in this case, traumatic memories). Facilitated communication is a discredited technique. Meta - analysis is a research method (combining results of multiple studies). The double - blind technique is used in research to prevent bias, not directly related to the value of EMDR.

Answer:

Question 17: Regression toward the mean
Question 18: Exposure therapy
