Three experiments were conducted using normal adults to assess the effects of contingencies of reinforcement on vigilance-reaction time performance and skin conductance. There was a significant, direct relationship between rate of skin conductance responding and speed of performance. Performance was faster and skin conductance responses were more frequent when response-contingent monetary reinforcement was available than when either feedback alone or no feedback was provided. The data suggest that central facilitating mechanisms are activated by complex interactions among several factors, including the likely consequences of task performance.
进行了三项实验，以正常成年人作为受试者，来评估强化偶联对警觉反应时间表现及皮肤电传导的影响。皮肤电传导反应速率与表现速度之间存在显著的直接关系。当存在基于反应的金钱强化时，与仅提供反馈或不提供反馈的情况相比，表现更快，皮肤电传导反应也更频繁。数据表明，包括任务表现可能产生的后果在内的几个因素之间的复杂相互作用激活了中枢促进机制。
