title: Stimulus control of skin resistance responses on an escape-avoidance schedule.
abstract: The effects of discrimination and avoidance training on the skin resistance response were studied in eight humans. Responses occurring during one stimulus delayed the interruption of music for 30 sec; responses during a second stimulus either had no effect or interrupted the music for 15 sec. The results showed stimulus control in all subjects and an increased discrimination between the first one-half and last one-half of the sessions for seven of the eight subjects.
