Abstract

The finger tremometer was used to measure emotional responses to recorded battle sounds as compared to tremor during a control period. Under control conditions veterans showed more tremor than non-veterans, and psychiatric patients showed even greater tremor. Battle sounds caused increased tremor in veterans but not in non-veterans. The increase was most marked in combat veterans and psychiatric patients. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
