Abstract

AVERSIVE STIMULATION WAS APPLIED DIFFERENTIALLY TO SPONTANEOUS GSR ACTIVITY IN 4 GROUPS OF SS. 2 GROUPS (C GROUPS) WERE EXPOSED TO A LOUD TONE EACH TIME THEY SHOWED SPONTANEOUS GSRS, AND 2 (NC GROUPS) WERE GIVEN THE SAME NUMBER OF TONES, BUT AT TIMES WHEN THERE WERE NO GSRS. IN ADDITION, SS IN 1 C AND 1 NC GROUP WERE INSTRUCTED THAT THEIR BEHAVIOR HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE NUMBER OF TONES RECEIVED DURING THE EXPERIMENT. THE C GROUPS SHOWED SIGNIFICANT DECREASES IN GSR ACTIVITY WHILE THE NC GROUPS SHOWED LITTLE CHANGE. THE INSTRUCTION VARIABLE DID NOT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT GSR ACTIVITY.
