The Psychobiology of Transference
Urinary Catecholamine Excretion During Instrumental Conditioning
Men responded with greater adrenaline excretion during different parts of an instrumental conditioning experiment than did women. This difference did not appear related to urine volume. Informed subjects had higher pre-experimental adrenaline values than uninformed. Men excreted noradrenaline at rates twice those of women. Specific behavioral responses were not consistently related to the catecholamine excretion rates
Sex Differences in Autonomic Responses During Instrumental Conditioning
The behavior of 21 women in an instrumental conditioning experiment using a punch-avoidance response was quite similar to that of a previously studied group of men. However, the women had lower levels of galvanic skin response (GSR) activity and higher heart rates. GSR discrimination during avoidance learning was less pronounced for women than for men. Both groups had a tendency for heart rate to slow when behavior was inhibited by instruction
Physiologic Discrimination and Behavioral Relationships in Human Instrumental Conditioning
Thirty-three human subjects were exposed to a discrimination instrumental-conditioning design in which the response was a punch-avoidance. The patterns of behavior associated with vague instructions were observed, as were the GSR and heart-rate changes accompanying the different behavioral responses. It was found that GSR discrimination occurred prior to avoidance learning, whereas heart-rate discrimination occurred only with avoidance itself. So…
Influence of Psychodynamic Factors on Central Nervous System Functioning in Young and Aged Subjects
A matched group of 10 young and 10 old subjects were presented pure tones, neutral phrases, and phrases designed to be “charged” for the young and for the old subjects while continuous GSR recordings were obtained as a measure of CNS activity. The subjects were then interviewed by a technique structured to evaluate the degree of “memory” for the preceding experimental period, as well as the meaning of and the affective response to the test situat…
Psychophysiological Investigations in Sensory Deprivation: The Body-Field Dimension
It was postulated that subjects who rely more on external rather than internal cues would react differently to an experience in which external cues were lacking. Using the Draw-a-Person test and the Rod and Frame test on a population of 109 college students to determine extent of Field dependency, 5 Body and 6 Field subjects were selected and placed in a low-sensory environment for 2 hours. Field-dependent subjects performed more poorly on pre- a…
Psychophysiological Influences on Peripheral Venous Tone
Ten volunteer subjects were exposed to a series of words and phrases while they were resting in an isolated sound-attenuated area. The verbal stimuli presented were bland or neutral expressions and charged words or expressions. In addition to periods ni which words were presented, 4 silent periods were introduced in which all experimental procedures were carried out. Venous pressure was measured through a polyethylene catheter in a forearm vein s…
