Knowledge of response in thermal biofeedback training using false feedback

Abstract

This thesis has explored the effects of three variables in thermal biofeedback training using false feedback. The three controlled variables in this study are: knowledge of response for the student experimenter, and training sessions. Knowledge of response refers to the identification of a particular internal response (either GSR or skin temperature) of a subject.Although not statistically significant, results for the knowledge of response variables were found to be in the theoretically predicted direction in all conditions.
