Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CET (Cognitive Enhancement Therapy) focuses on improving cognitive functions and social cognition in individuals, often those with schizophrenia or similar conditions. It aims to increase skills in areas such as attention, memory, problem-solving, and social understanding. While technical instruction, mistake contingent encouragement, and corrective instruction are aligned with CET's goals of enhancing cognitive and social skills, reinforcement as a standalone concept is not specifically a target behavior to increase in CET. Reinforcement might be used as a technique within the therapy, but it is not a direct target behavior like the others listed. However, the question seems to imply that all listed behaviors are desired targets in CET, which might not align with the typical understanding of CET's objectives. Therefore, the correct answer is that all listed behaviors (technical instruction, reinforcement, mistake contingent encouragement, and corrective instruction) are considered desired target behaviors in the context of this question, indicating a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the question's intent based on standard CET practices.
