Abstract
Abstract : Changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, finger temperature and skin resistance to six stimuli on two occasions were examined in 30 young adult males. The goals were to determine the degree of individual and stimulus response specificity and response stereotypy when difference scores and when autonomic lability scores (ALS) were used. Results indicated ALS scores gave more significant results. Individual response specificity was found in two thirds of our Ss but stimulus response specificity was not marked. Response stereotypy, while present in many subjects, was very unstable from day to day. Further data on the differential effect of law of initial values are presented which demonstrate the importance of a variable by variable approach when adjusting for prestimulus values. (Author)
