The Measurement of Autonomic Arousal: Some Basic Issues Illustrated by the Covariation of Heart Rate and Skin Conductance

TAYLOR, STUART P., EPSTEIN, SEYMOUR·1967·Psychosomatic Medicine

Abstract

Empirical evidence is presented to demonstrate that there is no true relationship between such physiological measures as heart rate and skin conductance, but that (depending on circumstances) heart rate and skin conductance covary directly, inversely, or not at all. It is contended that a solution to the general measurement of arousal will not be found by transforming single measures, by innovations in data reduction, or by combining measures. Instead, the solution lies in learning more about the unique properties of different physiological systems by establishing how they vary as a function of the parameters of stimulus input--such as intensity, rate of stimulation, and time since stimulus onset.

  • Physiological signals as a direct measure of sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system activation following psychological or physiological arousal could inform about the inner state of subjects facing diverse contexts.

    “As a direct measure of sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system activation following psychological or physiological arousal (Baig & Kavakli, 2019;Taylor & Epstein, 1967), they could inform us about the inner state of the subjects facing diverse contexts.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
