Drug-related information generates placebo and nocebo responses that modify the drug responseM A Flaten
Department of Psychology, University of Tromsø, Norway
Psychosom Med 61:250-5. 1999..It was investigated whether information alone induced physiological and psychological responses, and whether information modified the response to the drug...
Caffeine-associated stimuli elicit conditioned responses: an experimental model of the placebo effectM A Flaten
Department of Psychology, SVT Fak, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 145:105-12. 1999..A neutral stimulus repeatedly paired with administration of a drug may elicit a conditioned response. This process, termed pharmacological classical conditioning, may be important in the understanding of placebo effects...
Caffeine and prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle reflexM A Flaten
Department of Psychology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 147:322-30. 1999..A stimulus presented immediately prior to a startle reflex-eliciting stimulus inhibits the startle reflex. This is termed prepulse inhibition (PPI) and is postulated to index automatic and controlled attentional processing of the prepulse...
Caffeine-induced arousal modulates somatomotor and autonomic differential classical conditioning in humansM A Flaten
Department of Psychology, ISV, University of Tromso, Norway
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 135:82-92. 1998..Taken together, the results indicate that small increases in arousal may be detrimental to learning, and larger increases in arousal may reverse this effect...
Effects of caffeine, caffeine-associated stimuli, and caffeine-related information on physiological and psychological arousalA Mikalsen
Department of Psychology, SV-Fak, , , Norway
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 157:373-80. 2001..Thus, both the classical conditioning and expectancy theories of placebo effects received support, and placebo effects were strongest when both conditioned responses and expectancy-based responses acted in the same direction...
A parametric study of the separate contributions of the tactile and acoustic components of airpuffs to the blink reflexM A Flaten
Department of Psychology, SVF, University of Tromso, Norway
Biol Psychol 48:227-34. 1998..The findings suggest that researchers should reduce the acoustic component of airpuffs in studies that use airpuffs as reflex eliciting stimuli...
