Card 169 of 470


galvanic skin response
Measure of the skin’s ability to conduct electricity. For some people, changes in this response measure are highly sensitive to emotional changes, which can in turn be affected by the language they are processing.

Example:
In a study inducing speech errors, evidence that an error had been initiated (cool tits for tool kits) but edited (producing cool kits) came from increased emotional arousal, as reflected in this skin response.
