Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The intervention described focuses on teaching Brady specific skills related to social cognition, such as attending to relevant behaviors, seeking additional information, and evaluating potential responses. This aligns with the goals of social-cognitive interventions, which seek to improve individuals' skills related to social perception, problem-solving, and decision-making. The other options (home-based, psychodynamic, cognitive-developmental) do not explicitly focus on these skills or goals.
