Abstract
A novel environment was used to examine
whether arbitrary environmental stimuli could
come to elicit conditioned compensatory
responses from cigarette smokers. It was
hypothesised that: 1) Craving for cigarettes would
be linked to environmental stimuli, and 2) these
stimuli would elicit physiological and cognitive
conditioned compensatory responses. Fourteen
participants aged between 19 and 51 were
exposed to 10 conditioning sessions in a novel
environment followed by 2 experimental sessions
in the same environment. Half of the participants
smoked during the conditioning sessions while the
other half mock smoked. During the two
experimental sessions, the participants smoked
in one session and mock smoked in the other.
The participants' heart rate, cognitive and craving
responses were recorded.
