Doesn't seem to be a whole lot out there. All I could find in the past five years (searching for <autonomic AND operant AND conditioning>) were this article and a few applied studies. TI: Conditioning the whole organism AU: Schoenfeld, W N SO: Integrative Physiological & Behavioral Science. Vol 31(3), Jul-Sep 1996, pp. 258-260 AB: Argues that Pavlovian and operant conditioning are 2 aspects of the same integrated learning process, by which the brain receives and processes information to regulate the whole repertoire of individual behaviors. W. N. Schoenfeld discusses whether autonomic responses can be conditioned in operant fashion. The author concludes by calling for integrative rather than reductionist thinking in biology and medicine. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2000 APA, all rights reserved). We dn't have the journal, so I don't know what he concludes. * PAUL K.
