In the first experiment of pain, we investigated the effect of anxiety and attention on ratings of pain, which was induced by mechanical pressure and electrocutaneous pulse trains. For pressure, in the condition of watching the arm under the safety instructions, the mean pain rating increased more rapidly, as a function of trial, than it did in other conditions. For electrical stimulation, in the condition of watching the funny program under the anxiety instructions, the pain rating increased as a function of trial, whereas in the other conditions, it decreased as a function of trial. We proposed a tentative model, which is based on the discrepancy between the subject's anticipation of noxious stimuli before experiencing pain and the visual experience of it while experiencing pain.In the second experiment of pain, we used warm (heat) and cold stimuli and produced warm and cold scales and pain scales. The power exponent of warm scale was 3.12 and that of cold scale was 1.77. The slope of warm (heat) pain scale was steeper than that of cold one.In the experiments to measure vibrotactile thresholds, tangential vibrations to the skin were used and mechanoreceptive mechanisms was investigated to produce the tangential-threshold curve. Three experiments were performed. The shape of the threshold curve for the tangential vibrations was different from the shape for the normal ones. When the stimulus frequency was between 100 and 500 Hz, the normal-and tangential-threshold curves were similar to each other, and both of them were U-shaped. Below 50 Hz, however, the slope of the tangential-threshold curve was steeper than that of the normal one. It was supposed from the results of Experiments that the SA II determines the shape of the tangential-threshold curve when the stimulus frequency was lower than 50 Hz.

在疼痛实验中，我们研究了焦虑和注意对疼痛等级的影响，这是由机械压力和皮肤电脉冲序列引起的。对于压力，在安全说明下观察手臂的条件下，平均疼痛评级增加更快，作为试验的函数，比其他条件下。对于电刺激，在焦虑指令下观看滑稽节目的条件下，疼痛等级作为试验的函数增加，而在其他条件下，它作为试验的函数减少。我们提出了一个尝试性的模型，这是基于被试在经历疼痛之前对伤害性刺激的预期和在经历疼痛时对伤害性刺激的视觉体验之间的差异。在第二个疼痛实验中，我们使用了温暖（热）和寒冷的刺激，并制作了温暖和寒冷的量表和疼痛量表。暖尺度的幂指数为3.12，冷尺度的幂指数为1.77。温（热）痛量表的斜率比冷量表的斜率陡。在振动触觉阈值的实验中，采用切向振动皮肤，并研究机械感受机制，以产生切向阈值曲线。进行了三个实验。切向振动的阈值曲线的形状不同于正常振动的形状。当刺激频率在100 ~ 500 Hz之间时，正常阈值曲线和切线阈值曲线相似，均呈U型。然而，低于50 Hz时，切线-阈值曲线的斜率比正常曲线的斜率陡。从实验结果推测，当刺激频率低于50 Hz时，SA II决定切线-阈值曲线的形状。
