Abstract

Names of cities were shock associated and then embedded in material presented to the nonattended channel in a dichotic listening and shadowing situation. Despite earlier claims of differential responding to city names in the absence of awareness, no such differential responding was found. A test for conditioning following the dichotic listening task found that the subjects had been conditioned. Postexperimental interviews found that the subjects were aware of the city-shock contingency and had expected to be shocked during the dichotic listening task. Comparisons are made with other studies of galvanic skin responses to unattended words.
