Abstract
Much of what is presented to clients in a biofeedback session is integrated only if learning occurs. Biofeedback is not effective if the learner does not understand the signals. Neurolinguistic programming suggests that individuals utilize primary representational systems, including vision and audition, to incorporate environmental stimuli into their own preestablished notions of the world. To test this, individuals were included in one of four treatment modalities: control group, visual feedback only group, auditory feedback only group, or visual/auditory feedback group. Groups were significantly different only in decay rate from peak temperatures. Sex differences indicated women consistently produced cooler hand temperatures than men. Visual feedback seemed to be the most effective type of feedback for persons in this experiment.
