Resumo

Traditionally, human classical conditioning studies used electric shocks and loud noises as aversive unconditioned stimuli. However, the use of such stimuli raises a number of methodological and ethical issues. Consequently, in recent works it was found that conditioning could be obtained by replacing the usual white noise with a sound whose aversivity could be derived from its semantic content rather than its intensity. However, the stimuli used in these studies raise, in turn, a number of problems related to both technical complexity required for recording and further editing as difficulties in replication of the results. The present work suggests the possibility of overcoming these problems using sounds selected from the IADS (International Affective Digitized Sounds) as conditioned and unconditioned stimuli on electrodermal classical conditioning procedure. The results showed a rapid decrease in the amplitude of the responses that was interpreted in terms of a habituation of the orienting reaction. We discuss the limitations found, and propose the possibility of using the methodological approach employed in this study in future work.
