Research supports skin temperature changes (increases) as indicators of stress reduction or relaxation. To study the utility of skin temperature at the wrist as a measure of relaxation, 226 seventh grade students recorded their wrist temperatures before and after a 15-minute relaxation training exercise each morning for 29 weeks. Teachers checked…

Fifteen stutterers (aged 5-16) were treated using graded airflow, tension/relaxation, and electromyographic biofeedback to reduce stuttering frequency. In a second study, addition of a discriminative stimulus control procedure to maintain fluency made the treatment program more effective than the first study and achieved a level of <1% stuttered…

This study evaluated effects of computer-assisted biofeedback on the electromyographic activity of three students (grades four and six) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Results indicated increased relaxation abilities and, in the case of the one student also observed in the classroom, increased on-task behavior after the biofeedback…
