Scenario II
It is challenging to conclusively demonstrate the effectiveness of treatments for psychological disorders. Although treatments may appear to work, their apparent effectiveness could be due to a number of other factors, termed treatment illusions. Treatments may appear effective due to natural improvement unrelated to the treatment, placebo effects in which the apparent effectiveness of a treatment is due to the expectancy of its effectiveness, and reconstructive memory in which persons remember their symptoms prior to treatment as more severe than they were.
-(Scenario II) The treatment illusion of reconstructive memory is most related to which "sin" of memory?
