“…Although administration of shock was not sufficient to shift the evaluative ratings to the negative side of the scale, there was a significant shock effect for the R-Sh group. This corresponds with the findings of Osipow (1960) and DiVesta and Stover (1962) who mediated negative changes in evaluation using negative evaluative verbal labels instead of shock. These studies used nonsense materials as stimuli and did not attempt to vary the extremity or intensity of the mediated evaluative response.…”

Within the theoretical framework of Osgood's (Osgood, Suci, & Tannenbaum, 1957) theory of meaning the sign of an object is a primary symbol assumed to evoke a representational mediating response that is some part of the total behavior emitted by the organism when stimulated by the object itself. This response produces distinctive cues, mediating behavior that would otherwise not have occurred in the absence of previous association of the object with the word. The representational elements (r m -s m ) correspond to the meaning of the sign, and because of the cue or stimulus components the sign can be conditioned to other stimuli initially lacking in meaning. Upon conditioning such symbolic stimuli are designated assigns. On the basis of the congruity principle distinctive responses may be produced by novel stimuli if the assign, within appropriate contextual arrangements, is used to label other novel stimuli (Osgood etal., 1957).
