Summary
The goal of this study is to develop a targeted virtual training program (Simulated Exposure Trainer; SET) for exposure therapy. Two platforms with differing levels of immersion (low - mobile device; high - head mounted display) will be evaluated based on their usability and engagement of an empirically-derived training target (i.e., therapist negative beliefs). Target engagement will be evaluated by applying an experimental therapeutics framework during a brief training trial.
