As an example, affective perspective taking might correlate with joint play. As another example, Dr. Wynne referred to studies in which pain perception differs as a function of an individual's culture or the instructions they receive. For example, in studies of pain perception. Southern Europeans request that a heat lamp be turned off sooner than Northern Europeans under the same conditions. Dr. Wynne pointed out that this could be due to a difference in fat or nerve endings.
Distraction also affects pain tolerance.
With distraction, subjects could tolerate pain 3 times longer than counterparts who had no distraction. To conclude, Dr. Wynne outlined an empirical program for studying a behavioral account of consciousness. Mr. Eyny asked whether Dr. Wynne believes that language is causing consciousness. He stated that he did not think that this conclusion necessarily followed from the arguments presented. Mr. Eyny pointed out that associations become different with language, but perception is the same.
