Electrodennal activity refers to electrical changes across the skin
in areas of the body that are psychologically responsive. The
eccrine sweat glands are the primary detenninant of electrodennal
activity, and these are psychologically active especially on the
palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. As a matter of
convenience, electrodennal activity is most often recorded from the
palms. Over the years, the electrodennal response has been known as
the psychogalvanic reflex, the galvanic skin response, the skin
resistance response, the skin conductance response, and the skin
potential response. The tenns psychogalvanic reflex and galvanic
skin response have fallen into disuse among scientists, but are
still to be found in psychology text books. of its early discovery,
ease of measurement, and often easily observable Because response
to experimental manipulations, the recording of electrodennal
activity is one of the most frequently used methods in
psychophysiology. Indeed, in the early years following the founding
of the Society for Psychophysiological Research, electrodennal
research so dominated the field that people worried that the
society was simply an electrodennal society. Although other
psychophysiological techniques have emerged as equally strong
contributors to psychophysiology, electrodennal research continues
to be important throughout the world. As a result of this massive
research investment, there has been great progress in understanding
electrodennal phenomena, as well as major advances in recording
methods since the phenomenon was discovered.
