This experiment employed a between-subjects design (N = 40) to investigate the effects of feedback and reinforcement on the lowering of frontalis electromyographic (EMG) activity. The feedback and reinforcement manipulations were combined in a 2 x 2 factorial design and each subject underwent one baseline and two training sessions on three consecutive days. The analogue feedback signal was a 55 dB tone whose pitch varied as a function of EMG activity, while the reinforcement consisted of points which were exchangeable for money. The training sessions were each divided into 10 2-min baseline periods and 10 2-min trial periods. The results indicated that although analogue feedback did not result in lowered EMG levels, trial period EMG level was significantly lower than baseline level under conditions of reinforcement. These results pose problems for Budzynski and Stoyva's (1972) views concerning the therapeutic usefulness of frontalis EMG feedback training.
