The purpose of the current investigation was to determine whether increases and decreases in skin resistance tonic level could be controlled by individuals given discrete visual feedback of such activity. Thirty-six male undergraduate students served as subjects. They were assigned randomly in equal numbers to four groups; two of the groups received accurate feedback of skin resistance level changes and two received inaccurate feedback. The two accurate-feedback groups differed with respect to the order in which increases and decreases in skin resistance level were reinforced. Each noncontingent group was matched with one of the contingent groups in terms of reinforcement density. The results indicated that accurate feedback produced skin resistance level changes consistent with the type of reinforcement employed. However, operant control was not clearly sustained subsequent to a reversal in the type of tonic level change reinforced. Some problems related to the clinical application of skin resistance level training are discussed.
当前研究的目的是确定，给予此类活动离散视觉反馈时，个体是否能够控制皮肤电阻紧张水平的增减。三十六名男性本科生作为研究对象。他们被随机平均分配到四组；其中两组收到关于皮肤电阻水平变化的准确反馈，另外两组收到不准确的反馈。两个准确反馈组在强化皮肤电阻水平增减的顺序上有所不同。每个非偶然组在强化密度方面与一个偶然组相匹配。结果表明，准确反馈产生的皮肤电阻水平变化与所采用的强化类型一致。然而，在强化的紧张水平变化类型逆转后，操作性控制并未得到明显维持。文中还讨论了与皮肤电阻水平训练临床应用相关的一些问题。
