Key result
Review of two reports on operant heart rate conditioning indicated that voluntary cognitive and somatic activities influenced heart rate change more than the reinforcement contingencies utilized.
Why the study?
Does operant conditioning independently modify heart rate without somatic mediators?

Operant heart rate conditioning appears mediated by voluntary activities; leaves open whether reinforcement alone modifies HR independently of somatic strategies.
Does operant conditioning independently modify heart rate without somatic mediators?
Operant heart rate conditioning effects appear to be mediated by voluntary cognitive and somatic activities rather than direct instrumental modification.
Murray et al. (1968) conducted a review in Operant heart rate conditioning. Operant heart rate conditioning was evaluated on Heart rate change. Review of two reports on operant heart rate conditioning indicated that voluntary cognitive and somatic activities influenced heart rate change more than the reinforcement contingencies utilized.
