The flash technique was developed to assist in the treatment of clients with trauma memories that are no more than mildly disturbing. True False None 10. The "flash" technique accomplishes the two conditions required by Memory Reconsolidation research, accessing the full affect and a prediction error. True False None 11. The flash technique can be quite effective even if clients are not sure that they have connected with the target memory. True False None 12.

The therapist should make sure the client can do a single flash and maintain connection to the engaging focus before beginning triple flashes. True False None 25. The flash technique takes place during the preparation phase of EMDR. True False None 26. Once the client’s disturbance level has been substantially reduced using the flash technique, the therapist will usually begin the assessment phase of EMDR. True False None 27. At least one animal study has shown that memory retrieval leading to erasure can occur without emotional recall of the trauma memory. True False None 28. In humans, memory reconsolidation theory requires that a memory be retrieved and recalled vividly before reconsolidation can occur. True False None 29. Which client statement is a sign that the client’s disturbance level has been substantially reduced after successfully doing some flashes and returning to their engaging or distracting state? The client reports difficulty doing the flash technique because he/she is having difficulty recalling the disturbing image. The client spontaneously reports that the memory does not seem very disturbing anymore. The client reports that the image seems further away. The client reports that memory seems to have become separated from the feelings that went with it. All of the above.
