What is the objective of the study (as reported by the authors)? Two experiments investigated whether administration of caffeine-associated stimuli elicited conditioned arousal, and whether information that a drink contained or did not contain caffeine modulated arousal.

Provide a general description of the methods as reported by the authors. Information should be extracted based on relevance to the SR (i.e., caffeine related methods) Subjects attended eight sessions. The subjects were asked to refrain from ingesting caffeine and using nicotine or drugs for at least 12 h prior to each session. To control for time of day effects, each subject was run at the same time each day. All administration of caffeine or tonic water was double-blind. The procedure for each of the eight experimental sessions was as follows. After arrival at the laboratory the subjects were weighed. Thereafter, blood pressure and heart rate were recorded. The experimenter measured up an amount of caffeine solution or flat tonic water according to the formula [body weight (kg)/4=number of millilitres of solution] and mixed this with about 100 ml orange juice or coffee. [NOTE: This equates to 2 mg/kg BW.] Immediately after the end of the pretest the solution was given to the subject, who drank it as quickly as possible. Immediately after ingestion of the solution, the post-test was in effect. The post-test consisted of 30 trials of noise stimuli, and startle and SCRs were again recorded. The post-test lasted for about 27 min. After the 30 trials the electrodes were removed, blood pressure and pulse rate were again recorded.
