Flexibility Using the Stroop Test While Monitoring Heart Rate, Respiration Rate, and Electrodermal Activity Levels
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)
The purpose of this experiment was to examine the changes in cognitive flexibility that arose from physiological changes in the body caused by emotion. In 30 subjects, either happiness or fear was induced in the subject ...
Effects of auditory priming on physiological parameters of stress following an acute, loud, auditory stimulus
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)
Elevated stress levels and constant exposure to music are commonplace to present day college
students. Although the relationship of relaxing music and chronic stress have been well studied,
the specific effects of auditory ...
No Difference in Sympathetic Responses to Auditory, Visual, and Combined Stimuli
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)
The sympathetic nervous system, a branch of the autonomic nervous system, is
activated in response to stressful stimuli. The purpose of this experiment was to determine
whether audio or visual stimuli work in tandem to ...
How do physiological responses such as respiratory frequency, heart rate, and galvanic skin response (GSR) change under emotional stress?
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)
The human body exhibits different physiological responses to stress. One of these stressful
situations includes when one is made uncomfortable or is possibly being deceitful, which is the
physiological response that we ...
The Effect of Acute Psychosocial Stress on Short Term Memory
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)
Our study’s focus was to demonstrate the effects of an acute psychosocial stress event on
short-term memory. We hypothesized that an acute psychosocial stress event would lead to an
impairment of short-term memory. To ...
Brain Freeze: Can Physical Stress Induced By Low Temperature Reduce Memory Formation?
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)
While eyewitness memory continues to play a critical role in police investigations and court rulings, its validity has repeatedly come under question. Can we trust ourselves to recall critical information under stressful ...
Electromyography Study of Muscle Pre and Post Warm-Up
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)
Athletic performance and prevention of injury plays a key role in today’s sporting events,
with the “warming-up” of muscular tissues a primary objective. The study aims to more broadly
include the effects of warming up ...
The Effect of Exercise Intensity Level on Auditory Response Time
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)
This study investigated the effects of different exercise intensity levels on participants’ auditory
reaction times. 24 undergraduate students (mean age = 21.6 years; 58% male, 42% female) at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison ...
Stress responses due to application of audio or visual stimuli
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)
Stressful events promote activation of the sympathetic nervous system which
causes measurable physiological changes in the body. Visual and auditory inputs often
aid in this “fight or flight” stress response if potential ...
Analyzing Fluctuations in Heart Rate, Respiration, and Perspiration as Physiological Indicators of Deception
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)
This experiment tested the hypothesis that there are physiological differences that manifest when a person tells a lie compared to when they tell the truth. It was predicted that when a person lies, their sweat production ...
