Assessment Description
Task description
You come across an article in Psychology Today talking about “freeway phobia”
(https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/the-magic-in-the-tragic/202606/conquering
freeway-phobia)
Using information from peer-reviewed literature, outline why the proposed treatment may or
may not be effective. Note that you are unlikely to find peer-reviewed articles about this exact
phobia so be sure to consult literature that is most relevant and draw logical inferences.
Be sure to outline how we know the treatment will/will not work by explicitly explaining how
the methods and results of primary experiments lead to that conclusion.
