This chapter will be concerned with the effects of behavioral conditioning procedures, both classical and instrumental, upon physiological response measures commonly referred to as" visceral" and autonomic (eg heart rate, blood pressure, gastric motility). Within this general framework, the laboratory animal research to be reviewed can be divided into three broad investigative categories based upon the relationship between the physiological measures and the conditioning procedures. In the first Classical Autonomic Conditioning category, the physiological event that is conditioned appears initially as an unconditioned response (eg salivation) to an unconditioned stimulus (eg food) and is subsequently observed to occur (though not necessarily in identical form) during presentation of a conditioned stimulus (eg bell) which has been paired repeatedly with the unconditioned stimulus. The second Concurrent Autonomic Conditioning category is defined by experimental ap-proaches that depend primarily upon operant conditioning procedures to establish and maintain ongoing performances (eg lever pressing) while concurrently measuring physiological changes (eg hormone elevations) which show systematic relation-ships to the conditioned instrumental behavior. And in the third Instrumental Autonomic Conditioning category, an essential feature of the procedure emphasizes a contingency relationship between antecedent physiological changes (eg heart rate increase) and experimentally programmed environmental consequences (eg food delivery and/or shock avoidance).Over the past decade, animal learning studies within the framework of these three autonomic conditioning paradigms clearly have focused more upon some physiological response systems (eg cardiovascular) than others (eg gastrointestinal), and this differential emphasis will of necessity be reflected in the ensuing categorical review. To a considerable extent, this uneven distribution of physiological measures
