30.1 Private Stimulation and Collateral Responses

When teaching an individual to respond to private stimulation, additional evidence is often available in the form of a collateral response. The private stimulation of free nerve endings (pain) may be accompanied by crying or moaning. A toothache may have the collateral response of holding one’s jaw. A stomachache may have the collateral response of holding one’s stomach.
