متن کاملThe physiological experience of the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT): does the PASAT induce autonomic arousal?
Previous research suggests that the Paced Auditory Serial Attention Task (PASAT) alters mood states, which may induce performance changes and complicate interpretation test scores. In the current design, we examined arousal as one mechanism moderating PASAT performance. It was expected that arousal level would increase during the test, and performance on the test would be related to arousal lev...
