| Abstract: | "The present experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that there is a relationship between motivational factors and perception. Electric shock was employed to induce anxiety provoking conditions in relation to the perception of certain verbal symbols, and changes in their speed of perception were noted." The words were associated with a conditioned response and conditioning was more rapid with shock than nonshock syllables. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
