Correct Answer

Answer will include the following seven cognitive distortions related to gambling: (1) Magnified gambling skill : Lana's self-confidence is exaggerated, despite the fact that she loses persistently; (2) Attribution errors : She ascribes her wins to skill but blames losses on bad luck; (3) Gambler's fallacy : She believes that a string of losses soon must be followed by wins; (4) Selective memory : Lana remembers her wins but forgets her losses; (5) Overinterpretation of cues : She puts too much faith in irrelevant cues such as bodily sensations or a feeling that her next bet will be a winner; (6) Luck as a trait : She believes that she is a lucky person in general; and (7) Probability biases : Lana has incorrect beliefs about randomness and chance events. Taken together, these cognitive distortions create an illusion of control. That is, Lana believes that if she works hard enough, she can figure out how to win. A cognitive therapist would help to cognitively restructure her beliefs, so that she will no longer believe that she can control chance events.
