Question 2
Marjoe has been under a lot of stress lately. His doctor recommended a biofeedback specialist who uses equipment to measure Marjoe's blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle tension. Marjoe asked the specialist how the machines worked. How would the specialist answer Marjoe's question?
◦ "This equipment electronically stimulates your heart, muscles, and other organs; by energizing them to become more active, your body will get used to your elevated levels of stress."
◦ "This equipment applies a brief electric shock to your organs whenever their activity passes above a certain threshold; that punishment will eventually train you to lower your physiological activity."
◦ "This equipment can measure when your muscles tense or your blood pressure elevates; this information can prompt you to practice steps to relax."
◦ "This equipment simply measures your current levels of physiological responding; after we unhook you from the machines, I'll teach you some exercises that form the basis of biofeedback."
