The effect of two experimental tasks aimed at inducing emotional arousal on spontaneous swallowing rates was investigated. An anxiety-inducing cognitive task and a Velten-type depression-inducing manipulation were both found to increase spontaneous swallowing rates in normal subjects. This confirmed previous anecdotal reports of elevated swallowing rates associated with emotional arousal. The implication of this finding for a possible pathway between emotional factors and gastrointestinal disorders is discussed.
研究了旨在诱发情绪唤起的两项实验任务对自发吞咽率的影响。结果发现,一项诱发焦虑的认知任务和一种韦尔滕式诱发抑郁的操作均能提高正常受试者的自发吞咽率。这证实了先前有关情绪唤起与吞咽率升高相关的轶事报道。本文讨论了这一发现对情绪因素与胃肠道疾病之间可能途径的启示。
