DESCRIPTION:I will review some experimental studies done with animal subje
 cts showing that the state of nausea can come to occur as a conditioned re
 sponse\, a conclusion that supports the conjecture that conditioned nausea
  may contribute to the distress suffered by some patients undergoing chemo
 therapy. The animal experiments also suggest some simple strategies that m
 ight be effective in preventing or reducing the occurrence of conditioned 
 nausea\, strategies that might usefully be employed in a clinical setting.
  I will describe a preliminary study with human participants\, designed to
  assess the effectiveness of these strategies in alleviating motion-induce
 d nausea.\n\nBiography:\n\nEducated at Cambridge (when Zangwill was a pres
