Mediation of skin temperature biofeedback effects in children. Biofeedback and self-regulation Suter, S., Fredericson, M., Portuesi, L. 1983; 8 (4): 567-584

Abstract

Three studies are reported that, in general, fail to replicate an earlier investigation by this laboratory ( Suter & Loughry - Machado , 1981) in which impressive self-regulation of skin temperature by children was obtained. Mediation of skin temperature biofeedback effects is discussed. It is concluded that biofeedback self-regulation cannot be understood independently of the interpersonal, attitudinal, and cognitive context in which it occurs.
