Description
According to the cardiac-somatic hypothesis, heart rate
changes are a function of changes in somatic activity. Conversely,
the Independent Response Theory states that conditioning
of heart rate and somatic activities are independent
of each other. Using two groups, the present study examined
these conflicting theories by measuring changes in heart
rate and bar press suppression during 10 days of CER and
passive avoidance conditioning. Results of this study
indicate that heart rate responses and bar press suppression
conditioned independently of each other, during both CS and
post CS periods. Further, while bar pressing suppressed
rapidly in both groups, heart rate responses were different
between the two groups suggesting that although both
procedures conditioned the same behavioral results, they
elicit different autonomic responses.
