A RE-ANALYSIS OF GSR CONDITIONING.

Lockhart and Grings (1963) have suggested that a previous analysis of galvanic skin response (GSR) conditioning by Stewart, Stern, Winokur, and Fredman (1961) failed to establish its major point since it neglected to include a pseudoconditioning control for sensitization effects. In the present paper an experiment is reported in which this control was included, and it was found that the initial report of Stewart et al. was supported. That is, then was significant evidence of a conditional anticipatory GSR which was not due to sensitization effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
