Figure 5From: Perceived mental effort correlates with changes in tonic arousal during attentional tasksSkin conductance responses and their duration during stages of the testing session. a) Skin conductance responses recorded during resting eyes open (REO), continuous performance task (CPT), go/no-go task (GNG), and cued target detection task (CTD). *The number of skin conductance responses during REO were fewer than at all other stages. #CPT responses were fewer than responses made during the GNG and greater than responses made during the CTD. @GNG responses were greater than during the CTD. b) Duration of skin conductance responses. *The duration of responses during REO was shorter than at all other stages. #CPT duration of response was shorter than the duration of responses during the GNG and CTD (p < 0.0125, n = 46, mean ± SEM).Back to article page
