Insulin-Zn (40 units/kg, s.c.) prolongs two- to four-fold the cardiac action of the glycoside k-strophanthin (10–20 mg/kg, s.c. or i.p.) in the rat (100–200 g) as reflected by the duration and intensity of the heart rate deceleration (E.C.G.). Insulin also increases six times the mortality in rats overdosed with k-strophanthin (30 mg/kg i.p.), but simultaneously prolongs the duration of survival. On the other hand, insulin appears not to affect the cardiac action of the aglycon strophanthidin.

In two experiments, factors known to affect speed of simple reaction time (RT) were varied, and the phasic heart-rate deceleration preceding the reaction signal was measured. Both heart-rate deceleration and RT were affected by incentive, preparatory interval, and mode of presentation (whether predictable or unpredictable) of the preparatory intervals in a series. But the effect of a factor on one could not predict its effect upon the other, and heart-rate deceleration and RT were generally uncorrelated.

Previous research on electrodermal conditioning suggests that the conditioned diminution of the unconditioned response (UR) has an associative basis. The aim of this experiment was to test whether this phenomenon also occurs in heart rate (HR) classical conditioning. For this purpose, a differential classical conditioning was performed. The conditioned stimuli (CSs) were geometrical shapes (the CS+ was a square and the CS− was a triangle) displayed on a computer screen and a burst of white noise was used as unconditioned stimulus (US). For analysis of the conditioned response (CR) components, an interval between CS+ and US of 8 seconds was used. After the acquisition phase, participants were tested using trials with the US preceded either by a CS+, a CS−, or a neutral stimulus (a circle). The results showed conditioned diminution of the UR and suggest that the second heart rate deceleration component (D2) is responsible for the occurrence of this phenomenon.
