“…While neither SCL nor SCR amp. were correlated with skin temperature in this study, Maulsby and Edelberg (1960) found a 3% increase of SRL for each 73 One interesting result should be mentioned here: Christie and Venables (1971) observed negative correlations between the BSPL (Sect. 2.3.2.1) and the T-wave amplitude (TWA) in the ECG, from investigating 21 male participants lying down (r ¼ À0.70) and from another 15 participants in a sitting position (r ¼ À0.61).…”

“…The observed changes in electrodermal reactivity recovered within 2-8 min after the temperature change, and thereafter actually displayed a reverse trend in several participants. While recommending a correction of the SRL according to skin temperature, Maulsby and Edelberg (1960) advised against a corresponding correction of SRR parameters due to heterogeneity and instability of the observed effects. Lobstein and Cort (1978) investigated the effects of variation in skin temperature over the entire body on the SCR.…”

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 skin galvanic response is inversely related to skin temperature. 23 Vasomotor outflow in human cutaneous nerves is closely related to sudomotor outflow, 24 which explains the good correlation between the skin galvanic response and blood flow. Therefore, we measured skin temperature and blood flow as indices of sympathetic nervous activity instead of using the skin galvanic response, although skin temperature and blood flow changes are indirect measurements of sympathetic activity.…”

This article aims to introduce readers to a recent research topic, sympathetic skin response (SSR). The article provides information on the historical development of sympathetic response since the late 19th century. The article also includes information on the identification of naturally existed amplitude and latency values and classification based on these values, international measurement techniques with the studies conducted within the last hundred years, the factors effecting these measurements according to the studies conducted, and criteria used in the evaluation of the data obtained. In addition, information is given about the studies that have been made.
