Abstract
In 1928 By kov and Ivanova provided the first demonstration that interoceptive stimulation could become a conditioned stimulus in a classical conditioning paradigm (Bykov, 1957). Utilizing the classical conditioning technique, Bykov and his co-workers have subsequently demonstrated the existence of interoceptors in a wide variety of organs and tissues in the body. The extent of general scientific interest in this area is indicated by the fact that Bykov’s major report of his thirty-year program on interoception has been translated into more foreign languages than any other Russian book in the field of medicine or biology (Razran, 1961).
The research reported in this chapter represents part of a dissertation submitted by the senior author to the Maryland University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree. This research was supported by research grant MY-1604 from the National Institute for Mental Health. The research reported here has previously been reported in the Pavlov Journal of Higher Nervous Activity (May-June, 1964, 14, 448), which is published in Russian.
