  • Title: The effect of stimulus omission and interstimulus interval (ISI) on electrodermal habituation at short ISIs.
    Author: Daniels BA, Davidson JA.
    Journal: Br J Psychol; 1998 Aug; 89 ( Pt 3)():371-81. PubMed ID: 9734297.
    Abstract:
    An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of complete stimulus omission and interstimulus interval (ISI) variability on habituation of the skin conductance response. A new scoring technique allowed shorter ISIs to be used (0.5-1.5 s) than in previous studies. It was found that both stimulus omission and variation of a previously constant ISI had a significant effect on the course of habituation at short ISIs. The results are consistent with comparator models of habituation and suggest that participants encode the ISI of a series of stimuli presented as short ISIs.
