Front What is the ‘jumping to conclusions’ form of twisted thinking?
Back You interpret things negatively when there are no facts to support your conclusion.Mind reading: Without checking it out, you arbitrarily conclude that someone is reacting negatively to you.Fortune-telling: You predict that things will turn out badly. Before a test you may tell yourself, “I’m really going to blow it. What if I flunk?” If you’re depressed you may tell yourself, “I’ll never get better.”
That paragraph is too long. It violates minimum information completely. As a result it’s hard to judge whether you answer the card directly and the card doesn’t work well as an Anki card.
Thank you for your feedback. This material is not that suitable for Ankification because the purpose is to commit the material to procedural rather than declarative memory. My goal was to give users an easy way to be periodically exposed to the relevant techniques, so that they would eventually change the relevant habits and mindset, rather than to memorize the material in the usual way. If you have some concrete suggestions on how to improve the deck, feel free to send them to me.
I personally don’t know CBT very well to be able to tell you what the basics of CBT happen to be.
From my own experience in other frameworks I think that having declarative knowledge of what you want to do procedurally is helpful for being able to perform the procedural part. Understanding the basics of a topic well enough to break them down into atomic bits is hard but I don’t think that topics like CBT are inherently structured in a way that they can’t be reduced to atomic bits.
But if you lack the ability to know the basics of CBT well enough to state them at a atomic level you fortunately aren’t out of luck.
A straightforward way is to to write Anki cards that ask: “Is A or B the right way?” The learner has to only remember one bit of information to answer the question.
From the start of the book, you could form the card: Question: Do your moods get created by your thought and attitudes or by external events? Answer: thoughts and attitudes
I think it’s worthwhile to study the basics of CBT. I downloaded the downloaded the ebook. Hopefully I will have a good answer about the basics of CBT at some point in the future.
From the example cards that are shown in Anki:
