however, the researchers actually presented false heart rates that appeared to show participants that they no longer experienced fear when shown the snake pictures. A follow-up study (Kent, Wilson, & Nelson, 1972) disputed the effectiveness of the treatment by clearly demonstrating that the treatment simply did not work. In addition to the experimental demonstration, the follow-up report presented a case study as a clinical addendum. The case study described a 24-year-old woman, Miss H., who had a phobia of spiders. She was given the false-feedback "therapy" using pictures of spiders instead of snakes. After treatment, Miss H. stated that her fear of spiders was in no way altered or reduced. Although she accepted the false feedback as her own heart rate, she stated that she was still "paralyzed by fear" and that she would prefer to avoid such therapy sessions in the future.
