The SNS response decrement obtained by Mefferd and Wieland (1965) when a congitive task was imposed during a painful stimulus was reproduced with 15 S s under conditions involving minimal motor activity. The results support the conclusion that cognitive activity per se was the major determinant of the decrement.
