Pavlovian conditioning and multiple chemical sensitivity.

S Siegel 1, R Kreutzer 1
PMCID: PMC1469825  PMID: 9167990

Abstract

Pavlovian conditioning processes may contribute to some symptoms of multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). This review summarizes the potential relevance of the literature on conditional taste and olfactory aversions, conditional sensitization, and conditional immunomodulation to understanding MCS. A conditioning-based perspective on MCS suggests novel research and treatment strategies.
