“…Galvanic skin response (GSR), which results from sympathetic modulation of skin sweat glands secretions (Andreassi, 2000), is an accessible and sensitive index of peripheral sympathetic nervous activity, reflecting peripheral autonomic change (Nagai et al, 2004), and thus can serve as a sensitive way of monitoring autonomic responses to external and/ or internal stimuli (Shapiro et al, 2007). One measure of GSR autonomic response, which has been widely employed in previous studies as a physiological correlate of arousal or anxiety and relaxation levels, is GSR nonspecific activity or spontaneous GSR (e.g., Ashcroft, Guimaraes, Wang, & Deakin, 1991;Hensman, Guimaraes, Wang, & Deakin, 1991;Katkin, 1965Katkin, , 1966Katkin & McCubbin, 1969;Lazarov et al, 2010;Orme-Johnson, 1973). This measure gauges fluctuations in skin resistance that occurs in the absence of specific stimulation (Katkin, 1965(Katkin, , 1966Orme-Johnson, 1973).…”

As was done in Lazarov et al (2010) and consistent with previous studies, level of relaxation in this study was measured by calculating the total number of spontaneous or nonspecific GSR fluctuations each participant exhibited during the relaxation task, so that lower scores indicate a more relaxed state.…”

“…Much interest has been evident recently in the relationship between self-report indices of anxiety and measures of physiological emotionality or arousal. With the exception of a 90 study by Haywood & Spielberger (1966) most of this work has failed to demonstrate any relationship between the two variables (Katkin, 1965;McGuigan, Calvin, & Richardson, 1957;Winter, Ferreira, & Ransom, 1965). In discussing factors which may contribute to the difficulty in obtaining such a relationship Katkin suggests that "In order to elicit differential physiological responses from subjects who are presumed to differ in 'reactive anxiety' as measured by the Manifest Anxiety Scale it would appear necessary to elicit differential levels of apprehension from high anxiety and low anxiety subjects [po 3321."…”

through repetition proved to be easier than response substitution for Group 3 (T = 0, N = 10, p < .0 I).It seems clear that if learning through substitution is equivalent to learning repetitiously, then the second group should have shown the same amount of positive transfer as tbe first. Since they did not, it may be concluded that the marginal advantage provided by frequency was cancelled out by the presence of practice in the leaming of the replacement list. Furthermore, when the interference of partially learned responses is added to the absence of repetition, performance significantly deteriorates. Accordingly, the noncontinuity standpoint must be categorically rejected. ADDENDUM There have been many studies on one-trial learning carried forth in our laboratory. It seemed most profitable to abstract the findinp as one separate appendage to the main body of this article, as opposed to submitting a host of lengthy papers to a group of weary editors.First, we inquired as to whether it was possible to use Rock's substitution procedure in such a way as to permit the intrusion of old, pmialJy leamed responses. It was reasoned that if the order of a list of paired associates is held constant, then the response item of a deleted pair should subsequently be elicited by the position which it had previously occllPied in the list. This wouJd allow it to compete with the recaU of a newfy formed connection. Accordingly, an experiment WIS conducted in which the Ieamin, of • ~etition list was compared to that of a replacement list, keeping I fixed order of presentation. As a result, learning through repetition was significantly easier.Secondly, it was difficult to support the continuity position when using the repJacement paradigm with a group of rapid learners. However, it was found that frequency provided a decided advantage for these very same Ss when the task was made harder by merely increasing the length of the list.Finally, the prompting method has been found to be sensitive to small differences between repetition and substitution which cannot be detected using the method of aided recall.In condusion, noncontinuity results seem to be based upon a peculiar combination of events. namely, subjecting rapid learners to a menial task, varying the order of pairs from trial to trial, and using the method of aided recall. When these conditions are not met, the facilitative effects of frequency emefJe· REFERENCE ROCK, I. :rhe tole of repetition in ISIOCiative learning. Americln Journal ofPsycholo §, 1957,70, 18lH9l.

“…Dans une récente revue, Stem et Janes (1973) soulignent que, contrairement à l'opinion communément admise, et à l'inverse d'autres indices comme la réac tivité, l'habituation ou le conditionnement, l'activité électrodermale (AED) spontanée ne permet pas de différencier les sujets anxieux des sujets peu anxieux, que cette anxiété soit transitoire (état) (Zuckerman et a i, 1968) ou habituelle (trait) (Katkin, 1965;Koepke et Pribram, 1966). Indice peu classant chez les sujets normaux, l'AED spontanée (exprimée soit par les niveaux de repos soit par le nombre de réponses) discriminerait, en revanche, les sujets présentant une anxiété pathologique des sujets normaux.…”

The systematic recording of spontaneous electrodermal activity (EDA) on 23 normal subjects during 5 15-min sessions and the self-rating of anxious and/or depressive moods (Q-sort forced choice) shows a positive linear relationship between spontaneous EDA and anxious mood despite a low covariation between those two variables. The same relationship is found with a lower degree of confidence in depression. A greater EDA is observed in the rare pattern of ‘depression higher than anxiety’, than in the opposite case. The discussion of the results deals with the parallelism between a physiological continuum and affective states.
