    As I noted to Louise, I'm preparing some extended thoughts on these issues. In the mean time, can you help me to understand the procedural and/or conceptual difference between "distraction" on the one hand, and "dual attention" on the other. To me, they seem to be different names for the same thing. I mean, what is the difference between (a) having someone engage in exposure while also engaging in a distracting task, and (b) haivng someone engage in exposure while also engaging in a dual task? I know I'm not the brightest grain of sand on the beach, but sheesh, I just do not get this distinction.
