Hey guys,
I've looked through my notes and noticed that I have conflicting terms in Vivo and Imaginal exposure.
Vivo - Virtual reality technology
Imaginal - Real life exposure (most effective)
Is that correct? I also have it the other way round in my notes! lol :-\

Other way around. In vivo involves bringing the patient into direct contact with the fear-producing stimulus. Imaginal requires the patient to imagine situations involving the fear-producing stimulus

Cheers!
So does imaginal fall under the definition of virtual reality technology?
And I'd assume vivo is more effective due to the direct contact?
-
Virtual reality technology is pretty much a class of its own, since it doesn't really involve the patient actually imaging the situations, but it isn't direct real life exposure either
Yeah, in vivo is the most effective :)

Thanks again, best of luck tomorrow! :)
