The relationship between electrical potential of skin (SP) and temperature of the skin (ST) in the region of the recording electrodes was investigated in 112 healthy Ss. SP between palm and ventral surface of forearm was recorded during a 1-hr. test session in which S was asked to watch for a rarely-occurring stimulus. Forearm ST and SP proved to be unrelated. The regression of SP on palm ST was statistically significant, but the low correlation suggested that, under the conditions investigated, SP and ST were largely independent.
