在暴露治疗和随访的整个过程中，对两名身高恐惧症患者的主观、行为、心血管和神经内分泌反应进行了密集监测。在治疗过程中，两名受试者都表现出皮质醇反应上升和去甲肾上腺素稳定、不熄灭的反应，而主观和行为反应系统则有所改善。他们的心率反应不同。尽管在治疗结束时焦虑反应系统和生理“系统”之间不同步，但两个受试者都有成功的结果，并在随访中保留下来。讨论了“生理反应系统”测量在行为学研究中的意义。
Subjective, behavioral, cardiovascular and neuroendocrine responses were intensively monitored in two height phobics over a full course of exposure therapy and at follow-up. Both subjects showed rising cortisol responses and stable, non-extinguishing norepinephrine responses to height exposure over the course of treatment, while improvement occurred in subjective and behavioral response systems. They had differing heart rate responses. Despite desynchrony amongst anxiety response systems and within the physiological ''system'' at treatment conclusion, both subjects had successful outcomes which were preserved at follow-up. Implications for the measurement of the ''physiological response system'' in behavioral research are discussed.
