Abstract
An empirical method is described for changing habitual
response patterns by inhibiting postural sets which
disturb the reflex balance of the head. The procedure
results in a redistribution of postural tonus which is
reported by S as a decrease in the feeling of weight
and in the effort needed to move. Differences in
posture and movement are recorded by multiple-image
photography, X-ray photography, and electromyography.
Anatomical and physiological mechanisms are suggested
to explain the phenomenon. The implications for
behavioral science are discussed.
