57 human Ss participated in a demonstration of conditioning of the postural sway response elicited by low current sinusoidal electrical stimulation of the vestibular apparatus. In addition to a conditioning group which received paired presentations of a tone CS and vestibular stimulation, there were three control groups: a group which received the CS alone, another which received the UCS alone, and a third which received random unpaired presentations of the CS and UCS. Comparison of vestibular sway within and between these groups indicated that conditioning did occur.
