ABSTRACT
In 1955 Staats began experimental development of the hypothesis that words
as conditioned stimuli come to elicit responses according to the principles of
classical conditioning. Emotional responses.- or evaluative responses, evaluative
meaning, attitudes, values and so on-- constitute an important type of response that
can be classically conditioned to words. Many stimuli elicit emotional responses
and the words that are contiguously paired with those stimuli also come to elicit
an emotional response. Moreover, once a word comes to elicit an emotional response
the word can serve to condition emotionality to any other stimulus with which it
is paired. Many words have this function, and the processes involved constitute
one of the powerful functions of.language. Extensions of these principles have
significance for many areas of psychology.
Following this analysis, Staate formulated a long-term project that included
a series of studies to investigate both first-order classical conditioning of
emotional responses as well as higher-order conditioning of responses to words.
This series was first supported by the Office of Naval Research under Contract
Nonr-2305 (00), and continued under Contract Nonr-2794 (02).
Following this fcrmulation a number of experiments were conducted by Stoats
and his associates that showed that emotional responses could be conditioned to
words and that many words in our language elicit emotional responses that could be
conditioned to other stimuli. This lint of research has been elaborated by a number
of other invt:tigators, and it has been criticised and supported by other studies.
Stoats has also developed the learning theory involved and extended it to various
areas of study (1961, 1963, 1964a, 1964b, 1964o, 1964d, 1966, 1967, 1968a, 1968b).
The theory and the various studies constitute a framework within which to consider
significant aspects of human behavior. The present bibliography thus lists the
various experimental studies and theoretical analyses to Apri1 of 1970. (Additional
extensions into social interaction and attraction have been made by Byrne and Lott
end Lott. Studies not involving classical conditioning manipulations have not
been included herein, however.)
