- Systematic desensitisation

4.1.5 Systematic desensitisation.

Use - systematic desensitisation to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - systematic desensitisation determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - systematic desensitisation to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Systematic desensitisation is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
