Locating NREM Dreaming Through Instrumental ResponsesPsychophysiology - Tập 15 Số 1 - Trang 35-39 - 1978
Judith N. Brown, Rosalind Cartwright
ABSTRACTOne difficulty associated with the study of dreams has been the absence
of an objective indicator of dreaming in sleep other than REM. This study
explores the use of a subjective judgment and instrumental response to mark the
occurrence of dreams. Content reports of 8 subjects collected under two
conditions were compared. On 2 nights the experimenter determined the time of
the awakening an... hiện toàn bộ
The time course of pupil dilation evoked by visual sexual stimuli: Exploring the underlying ANS mechanismsPsychophysiology - Tập 54 Số 10 - Trang 1444-1458 - 2017
Johannes B. Finke, Christian Eric Deuter, Xenia Hengesch, Hartmut Schächinger
AbstractThe early processing of visual sexual stimuli shows signs of
automaticity. Moreover, there is evidence for sex‐specific patterns in cognitive
and physiological responding to erotica. However, little is known about the time
course of rapid pupillary responses to sexual stimuli and their correspondence
with other measures of autonomic activity in women and men. To study pupil
dilation as an ... hiện toàn bộ
The pupil as a measure of emotional arousal and autonomic activationPsychophysiology - Tập 45 Số 4 - Trang 602-607 - 2008
Margaret M. Bradley, Laura Miccoli, Miguel A. Escrig, Peter J. Lang
AbstractPupil diameter was monitored during picture viewing to assess effects of
hedonic valence and emotional arousal on pupillary responses. Autonomic activity
(heart rate and skin conductance) was concurrently measured to determine whether
pupillary changes are mediated by parasympathetic or sympathetic activation.
Following an initial light reflex, pupillary changes were larger when viewing

Pupil dilation indicates the coding of past prediction errors: Evidence for attentional learning theoryPsychophysiology - Tập 55 Số 4 - 2018
Stephan Koenig, Metin Uengoer, Harald Lachnit
AbstractThe attentional learning theory of Pearce and Hall () predicts more
attention to uncertain cues that have caused a high prediction error in the
past. We examined how the cue‐elicited pupil dilation during associative
learning was linked to such error‐driven attentional processes. In three
experiments, participants were trained to acquire associations between different
cues and their appeti... hiện toàn bộ
Significance Testing of Difference PotentialsPsychophysiology - Tập 28 Số 2 - Trang 240-244 - 1991
Donald Guthrie, Jennifer S. Buchwald
ABSTRACTThis note provides a statistical‐graphical method for the evaluation of
the statistical significance of difference potentials from a group of subjects,
and for the comparison of difference potentials between two groups. A table of
the lengths of statistically significant intervals for various sampling interval
lengths, numbers of subjects, and autocorrelation parameters is presented.
The Continuing Problem of False Positives in Repeated Measures ANOVA in Psychophysiology: A Multivariate SolutionPsychophysiology - Tập 24 Số 4 - Trang 479-486 - 1987
Michael W. Vasey, Julian F. Thayer
ABSTRACTViolation of the validity assumptions of repeated measures analysis of
variance continues to be a problem in psychophysiology. Such violation results
in positive bias for those tests involving the repeated measures factor(s),
Recently it has been shown that the tests of simple interactions and multiple
comparisons are even more vulnerable to bias (Boik. 1981; Mitzel & Games, 1981).

Aging and the Simon taskPsychophysiology - Tập 39 Số 1 - Trang 100-110 - 2002
Rob H. J. van der Lubbe, Rolf Verleger
A visual Simon task was used to study the influence of aging on visuospatial
attention and inhibitory control processes. Responses were much slower for
elderly than for young participants. The delay in trials in which stimulus and
response side did not correspond as compared to when they did correspond (the
Simon effect) was larger for older people, even after correcting for general
slowing due to... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of caffeine on selective attention in well‐rested and fatigued subjectsPsychophysiology - Tập 31 Số 6 - Trang 525-534 - 1994
Monicque M. Lorist, J. Snel, Albert Kok, G. Mulder
AbstractEffects of caffeine were studied in a visual focused selective search
task in well‐rested and fatigued subjects. A dose of 200 + 50 mg caffeine or
placebo, dissolved in decaffeinated coffee, was administered in a double‐blind
and deceptive fashion. The task was to detect a target letter on one diagonal of
a visual display designated as relevant and ignore stimuli presented on the
irrelevan... hiện toàn bộ
THE FIRST NIGHT EFFECT: AN EEG STUDYOF SLEEPPsychophysiology - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 263-266 - 1966
H. W. Agnew, Wilse B. Webb, Robert L. Williams
ABSTRACTThe electroencephalographic records from 43 subjects who slept for four
consecutive nights in a laboratory environment were studied in an effort to
describe the First Night Effect. These records showed that the first night of
laboratory sleep contains more awake periods and less Stage I‐rapid eye movement
sleep. There is a delay in the onset of Stages IV and I‐REM and the sleep is
more cha... hiện toàn bộ
