THE PERIPHERAL MECHANISM OF THE GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE

Psychophysiology, 1970
ABSTRACTDarrow held that the galvanic skin response (GSR) appears to be a complicated phenomenon because a number of events are sequentially involved. The mechanism resulting in the peripheral components of electrodermal phenomena is not complicated. Following excitation, sympathetic impulses to cutaneous tissues and subsequent release of acetylcholine

Voluntary Inhibition of Galvanic Skin Response

Psychological Reports, 1971
To assess the effectiveness of instructional set in voluntary inhibition of GSR 43 male Ss were assigned to 3 treatment groups. All groups were shown 4 slides of female nudes once, were given a break or instructions, and were shown the slides again. Group 1 received instruction to try to inhibit their response. Group C

Amygdaloid afterdischarge and galvanic skin response

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 1964
Abstract 1. 1. The investigation was carried out on lightly anesthetized cats which were immobilised by succinylcholine. Recording and stimulation were made in the basolateral part of the amygdaloid nucleus. GSR was recorded from the volar surface of the fore paw by a DC-coupled amplifier. 2. 2.

Galvanic Skin Response

American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1965
THE DIFFERENTIAL diagnosis of organic from psychogenic pain had long confounded pediatricians and psychiatrists alike. The sympathetic components of anxiety may blanch the viscera and be described as pain, and an unnecessary laparotomy is sometimes the result.

Skin Resistance and Galvanic Skin Response

Archives of General Psychiatry, 1962
The convenience of the galvanic skin response (GSR) and basal skin resistance (R) as indicators of autonomic activity has led to their widespread application in psychological and pharmacological investigations since the late 19th century, but the many fundamental controversies to be found in the literature testify to the questionable reliability of ...

GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE IN THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF DEAFNESS

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1947
PRESENT clinical methods used in the differential diagnosis of organic from psychogenic deafness have proved adequate in the majority of cases. However, equivocal and unreliable responses are met with, particularly in psychotic or retarded patients or those with a "compensation fixation." Methods of testing suspect cases of deafness are included in ...

NONSPECIFIC GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE AND RESPIRATION

Psychological Reports, 1961
The nonspecific galvanic skin response ( G S R ) , i.e., a change in skin resistance unrelated to any known stimuli, has been attributed (Birch, 1963; Cohen, et al., 1960; Lacey 6: Lacey, 1958) to level of arousal mediated primarily by the reticular system. Though it is well known char changes in respiration ( R ) are relared to changes in heart rare (

Inhibition of galvanic skin response by the splanchnic afferent

Experientia, 1970
Der hemmende Einfluss wiederholter elektrischer Reizung der Afferenzen des N. splanchnicus auf den galvanischen Hautreflex (GHR) wurde an Katzen untersucht. Gleichzeitige Registrierung des Neurogrammes des N. splanchnicus zeigt, dass die reflektorische Hemmung des GHR durch Fasern der A -δ Gruppe hervorgerufen wird.

An apparatus for the measurement of galvanic skin response

Journal of Scientific Instruments, 1967
An apparatus is described which enables changes in resistance that are a very small fraction of the total (ΔR/R < 0.01) to be measured and recorded automatically. Both a.c. and d.c. measurements can be made under constant current conditions. Low voltage battery operation makes the apparatus portable and safe for operation by unskilled personnel.

EFFECT OF ACCOMMODATIVE STIMULATION ON GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE

American journal of optometry and archives of American Academy of Optometry, 1973
ABSTRACT GSR latency, mean amplitude, and quiescent or post reading time of seven male college students during and after reading paragraphs of 20/50 acuity level or 1.5 mm letters at five levels of accommodative stimulation. −2.00 D to +2.00 D. were recorded by the Beckman Dynograph with miniature skin electrodes.
