Abstract

The pupillary conditioning of human Ss was studied as a function of CS-UCS interval (Exp. I) and CS intensity (Exp. II). With a CS-UCS interval of 0.5 sec the conditioned reflex occured very little, and with an interval of 6 sec, considerable occurrence of conditioned reflex was observed. The conditioned reflex, however, occurred more frequently on the early period of conditioning, and gradually diminished in the latter half. The results of Exp. II, in which a CS intensity was varied but a CS-UCS interval was kept at 6 sec, were similar to those of 6 sec group of Exp. I.
