“…However, differences between the results of Fitzgerald and Hoffman (1976) and those of the present study are probably related to the larger number of CS preexposure trials used in the present study. Analogous results have been found for human electrodermal conditioning; up to 16 preexposures of the to-be-conditioned CS were found to enhance the magnitude of a conditioned skin-conductance response (Silver, 1973), whereas SO or 100CS preexposures reduced the probability of occurrence of short-latency electrodermal changes during conditioning (Surwit & Poser, 1974). This differential increase in responding after a few nonreinforced CS preexposures, followed by a de- crease after many nonreinforced CS presentations, is compatible with the dual process model of habituation and sensitization proposed by Groves and Thompson (1970).…”

Male and female rabbits received Pavlovian conditioning in which a 1,216 o H z tone served as the CS and a 3 0 m A paraorbital electric shock train served as the US. Eyeblink (EB) and heart rate (HR) CRs were assessed. Half of the animals received prior exposure to the CS, while half were restrained in the chamber for a similar length of time but did not receive prior CS exposure. Different groups of each sex received three different CS intensities including 60,75, and 90 dB (SPL) during both preexposure and conditioning. The results revealed that latent inhibition of the EB CR occurred only at the intermediate CS intensity, as indicated by a significant impairment of EB conditioning in this group. However, the magnitude of the decelerative HR CR was attenuated by prior CS exposure at all three CS intensities. Females showed faster EB conditioning than males, but latent inhibition occurred in both sexes. These results suggest that somatomotor and autonomic systems are affected differently by prior CS exposure.

“…The SIR also remains uninfluenced by CS properties (Orlebeke & van Olst, 1968) or by training trials prior to conditioning (Surwit & Poser, 1974). Instead, the SIR depends on the UCS quality and on the probability of its occurrence.…”

A quartercentury later the scientific study of psychology also originated in Germany. Over time, however, the focus of psychological research, including the then new field of psychophysiology, shifted to the United States and Great Britain. This trend to the dominance of the United States and Great Britain was prolonged by the devastation of World War II and its aftermath in Germany (and elsewhere in continental Europe). Slowly at first and then more rapidly, German psychological science, including psychophysiology, recovered. For several decades German psychophysiologists have been a major force in psychophysiology. With the publication of the first English edition of this book in 1992, it became essential for electrodermal researchers worldwide again to learn from our German colleagues.When I came into psychophysiology in the mid-1960s, electrodermal activity was the most common system studied. Because of its popularity, a large literature had emerged on the physiological mechanisms producing these changes in the electrical properties of the skin and on the best methodology for recording them. Major reviews and/or chapters had been published or soon were to be published by Peter Venables and Irene Martin, Robert Edelberg, and David Lykken. Later reviews and articles were published by Venables and Margaret Christie, and by me. A chapter in 1990 by Michael Dawson, Anne Schell, and Diane Filion was especially noteworthy for its coverage of the psychological applications of electrodermal measures.Note that all these publications were journal articles and chapters and that most of them focused almost entirely on mechanisms and methodology. The publication of this book, first in German and then in English, provided the first book on electrodermal activity, and one that extensively covers psychological applications as well as mechanisms and methodology. Again to quote David Lykken back in 1992, "The return of German scholarship to what I shall loftily call the high table of psychophysiology is exemplified by this fine book, the most comprehensive treatise on the electrodermal system to appear in any language . . ." I completely agree with v that evaluation. Professor Boucsein's outstanding scholarship has produced a book of such breadth of coverage ...

“…The results are decidely mixed. Some find the latent inhibition effect (Sokolov & Paramanova, 1963;Surwit & Poser, 1974, Wolff & Maltzmann, 1968, and some obtain either no difference in conditioning as a function of nonreinforced preexposure (Zeiner, 1970) or a facilitatory effect (Silver, 1973). Unfortunately, the procedures are sufficiently different in so many respects as to make any valid comparison impossible.…”

An experiment was designed to demonstrate the latent inhibition phenomenon in adult humans and to determine the effects of initial level of attention to the to-be-conditioned stimulus during a preexposure phase on subsequent learning. Results indicate that a strong latent inhibition effect can be obtained with adult humans. This effect occurs even though the preexposed stimulus is presented under severe conditions of inattention.
