Cognitive-behaviour modification: treatments that change overt behaviour by altering thoughts, interpretations, assumptions, and strategies of responding (kazdin) Cbt and cognitive behaviour modifications nearly identical: differ in outcomes, cbm: overt behaviour change as result, cbt: cognitions (belief change will lead to behaviour change, broader than cbm. Assessment and alteration of cognition does not necessarily follow one another. Measurement does not necessarily assist change efforts. (3) direct result of adoption of the mediational model: desired behaviour change may be effect through cognitive change. Importance of cognitive matching: between treated object and other object of generalization most tests of cognitive mediation are less than methodologically adequate and fail to produce compelling results.
