Not being a behavioral specialist I see my opportunity here :) I would imagine that any stimulus used to entrain a classically conditioned response would not be considered a placebo in general, because a placebo implies, in general, a beneficial physical or psychological effect. Conditioning an eye blink response, while being a physical response, is nevertheless not beneficial. --Mike --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
