Physiological measures differentiate distinct domains of immanent justice reasoning
… was to examine the utility of multiple continual physiological measurements as predictors of just-world motivated behavior such as immanent justice reasoning (IJR) in a replication of Callan, Ellard, and Nicol's (2006) study. Participants (N=109) were assigned to one of two narrative groups - …

Behavioral and Physiological Measures of Driving Across the Spectrum of Alzheimer’s Disease
… alertness, drowsiness, cognitive workload) using physiological tools, may prompt the driver to remain attentive while driving. While electroencephalography (EEG) has been tested as a reliable tool to record driver state during AV, the implementation of EEG in the wild does not seem feasible. …

Effects of Two Backpack Weight Distributions on Perceptual and Physiological Measures During Walking
… of backpack weight distribution on subjective measures of intensity and comfort. Heart rate (HR) and overall and differentiated Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE) were examined during simulated backpacking with differentially weighted backpacks. Volunteers (n=27) completed two simulated hiking …

The effect of wetsuit leg coverage on swimming speed and selected physiological measures
The effect of wetsuit leg coverage on swimming speed and body temperatures was investigated by having 10 triathletes swim 1500 meters 4 times in two different water temperatures in short sleeved wetsuits. Subjects swam twice in a full wetsuit which covered the leg to the ankle and twice in a …

MECHANISMS OF GAZE STABILITY DURING WALKING: BEHAVIORAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES RELATING GAZE STABILITY TO OSCILLOPSIA
Visual sensory input plays a significant role in maintaining upright posture during walking. Visual input contributes to control of head, trunk, and leg motion during walking to facilitate interaction with and avoidance of objects and individuals in the environment. The vestibular system …

The effect of music on anxiety in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery
… care for arthroscopic knee surgery patients. The physiological measures of blood pressure, heart rate, and respirations were recorded at five specific intervals; An independent t-test performed on postoperative state anxiety scores indicated no significant difference between the groups. Paired …

Investigation of exercise, nutrition, and high tibial osteotomy interventions for patients with medial dominant knee osteoarthritis
… studies evaluating clinical, biomechanical, and physiological outcomes following a) a 12-week exercise and nutrition program (studies 1-2) or b) HTO (studies 3-4) for knee OA. For studies 1 & 2, we evaluated change in physiological measures (body composition, muscle strength, gait biomechanics), …

From working memory to maths: A multi-measure physiological investigation of the impact of anxiety
The present research project adopted physiological measures to investigate the rela- tionship between anxiety and working memory (WM). The importance of WM for maths processing and the sensitivity of physiological measures to both anxious responses and executive processes make these measures …
