Explanation
Why this works
The correct option is Apply the idea to the scenario context before evaluating the evidence, so AO2 and AO3 remain distinct. because Explain reducing addiction using drug therapy, aversion therapy, covert sensitisation and cognitive behaviour therapy.
requires precise Psychology terminology, AO1 knowledge and AO3 evaluation supported by study, method, treatment or data evidence. If a scenario is provided, apply the idea to that context before judging the evidence.
For treatment objectives, separate effectiveness from appropriateness and link the judgement to evidence, symptoms, side effects, ethics or individual needs.
