Some
experiments on instrumental modification of autonomic responses
K. Hamano & T. Okita |
In
this paper we attempted to make a summary of some experiments on
the instrumental modification of autonomic responses to date made
by the present authors. Studies were done on heart rate (HR) and
GSR. In the rewarding situation, the reinforcer such as tone, light
or slide of a nude female in color was presented, while the noxios
electric stimulus as JCS was applied in the avoidance situation.
In addition, in order to examine the effect of drive strength on
the modifiability, the subject was motivated by water deprivation
in two instrumental rewarding experiments. Finally some questions
to be determined by future studies were pointed out.
