V. L. Quinsey and D. R. Laws (see PA, Vol 78:10127) have criticized the study by G. C. Hall et al (see PA, Vol 75:20414) of the validity of physiological measures of pedophilic arousal on several methodological grounds. However, Hall et al did use standardized procedures which suggested that such physiological measures lack external validity. Moreover, the Hall et al results are consistent with many other recent physiological studies that have used large, representative populations of sexual offenders. - Journal abstract.
