Heart rate and skin conductance in four-year-old children with aggressive behavior.

20 Jul 2009 Autonomic underarousal, indicated by low heart rate (HR) and skin conductance level (SCL), is related to childhood aggression. However, results are inconsistent in preschoolers. We assessed HR, SCL, heart rate reactivity and skin conductance ... Read more...

Normal and impaired reflexive orienting of attention after central nonpredictive cues.

30 Mar 2009 Recent studies suggest that stimuli with directional meaning can trigger lateral shifts of visuospatial attention when centrally presented as noninformative cues. We investigated covert orienting in healthy participants and in a group of 17 right ... Read more...
