The effect of aversive stimuli on reaction time in schizophrenia

“... the experiment was to assess the motivational role of aversive stimuli in modifying the performance of normal and... schizophrenic... males... [on] a visual reaction time task.... During... [one] series Ss responded under... experimental conditions... [part of which] involved the use of intense noise as an aversive stimulus. None of the experimental conditions appreciably altered the performance of normal Ss. However, schizophrenic Ss performing under... [conditions involving noise] displayed greater improvement than control Ss.” 22 refs. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
