Abstract
Results of several studies were discussed in order to illustrate the relative importance of reinforcement and incentives to performance in biofeedback experiments. Data were taken from studies employing essential hypertensives, brain damaged patients, and normals as subjects. Both somatic and autonomic physiological responses were monitored. Results indicate that motivational variables play a predominant role in controlling performance on relatively easy biofeedback tasks, while in difficult biofeedback learning tasks, reinforcement plays a predominant role in controlling performance.
