Question 9

They carried out a series of dramatic animal experiments in the 1960’s, which demonstrated the possibility of operant conditioning with a variety of internal autonomically regulated physiologic processes, including: blood pressure, cardiac function, and intestinal activity. Prior to their research, physiologists generally assumed that organisms only had control over voluntary processes and not involuntary processes.
