Abstract
The emotional excitability of patients with spinal cord injury was studied. In contrast to what might be expected according to Hohmann (1966) and various emotion theories, the results of this study demonstrated that spinal cord lesions do not result in an overall reduction of emotional excitability. According to the opinion of the spinal cord lesioned patients themselves, their overall emotional excitability was increased after injury, rather than decreased.Keywords
