Replies to R. Elliott's recent critical review (see record 1972-30852-001) of J. I. Lacey and B. C. Lacey's position concerning the relationship of cardiovascular activity to behavior. It is claimed (a) that Elliott misinterprets the Laceys' psychophysiological and neurophysiological hypotheses, (b) that he has been selective and insufficiently critical in his citation of the research by other investigators, and (c) that the "alternative" position which he finds acceptable is not truly contradictory and is neither based on adequate data nor free from technical and conceptual difficulties. A response by R. Elliott follows (see PA, Vol 52:Issue 6). (56 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
