2. How we act or behave can strongly affect our thought patterns and emotions.
The cognitive-behavioral model - correct answer Cognitive processing is given a central role because

event----congtitive appraisal-----emotion----behavior
Three levels of cognition - correct answer Consciousness is the highest level of cognition and is a state of
awareness in which decisions can be made on a rational basis.

unspoken. They can be understood if our attention is drawn to them.

AUTOMATIC THOUGHTS - correct answer Are cognitions that stream rapidly through our minds when we
are in the midst of situations (or recalling events). Although we may be subliminally aware of the
presence of automatic thoughts, typically these cognitions are not subjected to careful rational analysis.
They are typically private or unspoken and occur in a rapid-fire manner as we evaluate the significance of
events in our lives.
, SCHEMAS - correct answer Are core beliefs that act as templates or underlying rules for information
processing. They severe a critical function in allowing humans to screen, filter, code, and assign meaning

influenced by genetics and multitude of life experiences, including parental teaching and modeling,

therapeutic relationship.

thoughts and schemas, especially those that are associated with emotional symptoms such as
depression, anxiety, or anger.
--CBT teaches patients to think about their thinking to reach the goal of bringing autonomous cognitions
into conscious awareness and control.
Automatic Thoughts are - correct answer typically private or unspoken and occur in a rapid-fire manner.
The term PRECONSCIOUS is used in describing automatic thoughts because these cognitions can be
recognized and understood if our attention is drawn to them.

thoughts that are maladaptive or distorted. These thoughts can generate
painful emotional reactions and dysfunctional behavior.
