The name of DiCara is prominently absent from the Dworkin and
Miller report retracting the finding. It seems likely that
there's a story of historical importance here but probably it has
never been related in print.

One source I'd like to check is listed in Dworkin and Miller.
It's a chapter by Lee Roberts in G.E. Schwartz and Shapiro's
(1978) book _Consciousness and self-regulation_. We don't have it
in our library. If someone has it handy, perhaps he/she could
check it to see if Roberts has anything to say about DiCara.

And I'm disappointed that no one here has offered to educate us
on the current status of research on operant conditioning of
autonomic responses.
