This is mentioned in his biography: The Man Who Shocked the World (Blass, 2004). The exact reference to this is at the bottom of p. 79, and top of 81 (as p.80 is a graph). The author states: Connected to the schock machine was an apparatus that automatically recorded not only the shock levels, but also the duration and latency of each shock to 1/100th of a second.

What I remember from the film is that he showed an event recorder (and a sample of its record) to display latencies and button-down duration. I don't have access to the article right now, but as Jamie Davies said, there was no mention of such data in his results section. DKH David K.

I will continue to search - but at least you're vindicated on thinking that he did measure it. -- Jamie Davies [email protected] www.psychblog.co.uk --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
