Abstract
To test the hypothesis that neurotics will show less decrement in the strength of a voluntary response, as a function of its repeated elicitation, than normals, the latency and duration of finger pressure on a button in response to mildly painful thermal stimulation on the forehead, as well as the muscle potential from the responding arm, were measured. In all three measures, controls showed progressive weakening of reaction, while patients did not. The findings are presented to support the view that rigidity is at least in part a function of weak reactive inhibition. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
