Behavioral Therapy Physiological Recording describes which of the following?

• A. A therapist records thoughts during sessions.
• B. An instrument monitors psychophysiological reactions to objectively measure problems.
• C. A client engages in role playing to rehearse social situations.
• D. A self-monitoring diary tracks caloric intake.

Answer: (B)

In behavioral therapy, physiological recording means using instruments to measure bodily responses that accompany psychological states, giving objective data about what's happening. This directly aligns with monitoring psychophysiological reactions (like heart rate, skin conductance, respiration, or muscle tension) to assess problems and gauge change over time. It isn’t about jotting down thoughts, practicing social scenarios, or keeping a diary of calories—those reflect cognitive data, behavioral rehearsal, or self-monitoring of intake, respectively. The key idea is objective physiological measurement to understand and track the client’s condition.
