Answer:

applied

Step-by-step explanation:

Basic research focuses only on how the mind works, especially in a controlled setting such as a lab.
Applied research focuses on how we can use basic research to solve real world problems.

Basic research would be what causes generalized anxiety disorder while applied research would take that information and look at how we can change psychotherapy to create an effective treatment of said disorder.
