Research ArticleOpen accessEffects of Increased Physiological Arousal on Upper Extremity Reaction and Movement Times in Healthy Young AdultsChristopher Kovacs, Tamara BoriesProblem statement: Research has suggested that examining attentional demands during functional tasks is an emergent area of study. Increased arousal may represent an attentional demand, resulting in impaired motor functioning in tasks that require fast reaction and movement times. Approach: This study examined the effects of a non-specific stressor and the resultant physiological arousal on upper extremity functional measures of … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,041 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEffects of Increased Physiological Arousal on Upper Extremity Positional Awareness in Healthy Young AdultsChristopher Kovacs, Tamara BoriesProblem statement: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of increased physiological arousal on the ability to perceive upper extremity positional awareness in healthy young adults. Approach: Thirty-eight participants were pre- and post-tested for upper extremity positional awareness using a manual kinesthesiometer. Participants in the experimental group underwent a combination of the Stroop color-word task and timed … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,375 accessesView PDF Cite
