    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Cognitive Science

    Background:

    • Biofeedback training involves learning to control physiological responses.
    • The role of cognitive factors in biofeedback is increasingly recognized.
    • Cognitive-behavior modification offers strategies to influence psychological processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the role of client cognitions in biofeedback training.
    • To describe cognitive-behavior modification procedures for biofeedback.
    • To present a cognitive theory of self-control applicable to biofeedback.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptualizing biofeedback training in three phases: initial conceptualization, skills acquisition/rehearsal, and treatment transfer.
    • Describing cognitive-behavior modification techniques to alter or utilize client cognitions.

  • Postulating a three-stage mediational change process for self-control.

    • Main Results:

    • Client cognitions are integral to all phases of biofeedback.
    • Cognitive-behavior modification can be applied across biofeedback stages.
    • A three-stage model explains how cognitive changes mediate self-control.

    Conclusions:

    • Cognitive factors significantly impact biofeedback training efficacy.
    • Integrating cognitive strategies enhances self-control and treatment generalization.
    • The proposed cognitive theory provides a framework for understanding biofeedback mechanisms.
