Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biofeedback training involves using electronic devices to measure and provide feedback about an individual's autonomic functions (such as heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension). Through this training, individuals can learn to consciously control these functions in order to achieve a desired state of relaxation or reduced stress. This process is often used in conjunction with behavior therapy to treat conditions such as anxiety and hypertension. The other options (programmed learning, socialization, and token economies) do not relate to the intentional control of autonomic responses.
